Outsider here. What exactly do you mean by data? I thought Republic had already transitioned to ipads with full charts and (presumably) any aircraft data, company procedures, etc.

I think he means 3G data. Late last year or maybe it was early this year, can't remember, the company replaced every pilot's iPad with a 3G capable iPad. Currently, we only use the GPS ownership with the new iPads, but from the get go it was rumored of possibly getting cell service on them so we can get our releases on them electronically. We recently were approved to use e-releases, but currently have to have wifi or hotspot off of our phones to get them.

-Flow
A fleet manager mentioned that Bedford was talking to DAL AND UAL and is aiming for a release of what every they come up with in Q3. best case scenario flow, worst case a guaranteed interview.
-Flight School
Already has happened actually, will be in Indy from what I'm hearing. I work on PTAT and have been told the angle we are selling it is we aim for people graduating from high school to the folks who want to do the job, but cant afford it. Not sure what the work commitment will be on the back end of those agreements, but they really are trying their best to pull in as many people as they possibly can currently.
-Flight Deck
Fleet manager is working on getting iPads data on the deck, right now the hold back is one of the majors.

Those who think we’ll get a true flow are completely delirious. A preferential interview or CPP, maybe, but a true flow will definitely not happen. And even a preferential interview or CPP seem unlikely to me.
Been hearing the typical Compass/west coast rumors, but that’s nothing new. Bedford hinted at wanting to get additional Delta flying, but he also mentioned 12 additional aircraft for a codeshare back in February and that never happened. So with that being said, I doubt we hear any significant announcement any time soon.

I'd rather see true expansion west, not just a few western routes out of IAH. Flow/CPP is a useless carrot, just like most of BB's updates.
