Do regionals give all pilots a laptop?

No. I don't know of any regional that gives its pilots a laptop.

I dont work for a regional but check out their pay scales....

If they pay them barely enough to eat ramen then it wouldnt make sense that they would be graced with laptops. That is almost a months salary

LOL. Thanks, I needed to hurt myself laughing.

Forget the laptop . . . give me a lapdance!

I'm pretty sure pilots don't need a laptop or a lapdance while in flight. ;)

Very few companies out there do the technology thing for pilots/employees.

JetBlue has laptops and NetJets pilots get Blackberries. Some corporate flight departments issue laptops or other forms of electronic devices.

Most airlines don't even contribute towards pilots cellphone costs.

Well, pay varies widely. We don't all make ramen wages.

No laptops here at Horizon, but we are getting EFBs late this year (until they push it back).

Fokker28 is right... I made it up to mac 'n cheese wages when I worked at ACA! I could even afford a frozen pizza from time to time! Nothing but name brand ramen for me!

:D
