I'm leaving my current regional to begin class at 9E late next month. I have a few questions myself if you guys don't mind answering them.

1. Is there a company provided smartphone app that allows flight crew-members to check their schedules, company messages, and sign in for duty?
2. Is there a set date for the Microsoft surface tablets to be implemented as EFBs? Will they be provided to each pilot or be assigned to each aircraft individually?
3. I understand that this is subject to many factors but, what are best/worst case time frames for a new hire today to upgrade?
4. Is it true that the company is in talks with Delta to negotiate a true flow through?
5. Is morale low, high, improving, decreasing?
6. Is the hotel I stayed at the night before interviewing (Holiday Inn - Eagan) the same one I'd be staying in for training?

Thanks a bunch

Is this a joke?

1. No but you can check in on your smart phone and check schedules to some degree on your phone via the regular website.
2. Mid 2016 now. Don't hold your breath. Individual most likely.
3. Ask Ms Cleo.
4. No.
5. increasing.
6. No you will get a suite-style hotel with kitchenette, fridge etc and within walking distances of restaurants/Walmart/grocerys etc.

I'll be at the Staybridge Suites, Eagan. Don't know if the entire class will be there.

My recruiter buddy tells me EFBs are not in the cards this year, but maybe a 2016 roll out, upgrades are projected to be within 36 months for new hires who start now, no flow but the company might be announcing a guaranteed interview with Delta for new hires soon (not sure when exactly), and the morale has definitely changed. The retention payments have helped to turn the tides a bit.

For all intents and purposes, 9E looks like a really good choice. Good luck and keep us posted on your experience!

Filled with speculation and rumor.

I'd go with Mooney's assessment.

I think the Hunite app only works with the IPhone. There's something different for Android users. I can't remember what it called
