Future app compatibility? Maybe we’re gonna get dynamic airport maps or whatever FD pro calls it. Don’t know what it’s called but I’ve seen it on delta mainline. It’s awesome.

Do you prefer older slower technology? Not sure what the problem is here, LOL.

Current iPads are on a 3 year schedule to replace them. They were issued in December 2018, so it is time for the new ones. Company is giving the pilots the option of purchasing the 6th gen we currently have for $165, instead of turning it in. Maybe they will have enough of the same color 9th gen for everyone. New hires were getting white or the rose gold recently.

Pretty excited that we’ll be getting newer/new’ish iPads!

Hopefully you're excited enough to pass up that CJO from mainline.

Ah, I know they are old as far as the product lineup goes but didn’t know Skywest was issuing them that long ago. Really don’t need cutting edge technology for what we are using them for. They seem to do the job just fine. IT probably appreciates the upgrade though more than us pilots.

??? You must have me confused with someone else. I don’t have any turbine experience and am starting training with OO in a couple months.

Nah, I’d rather get paid the price of a new ipad, but I’m sure there’s a good reason for the upgrades.

I hear ya! Let’s hope the pay raise later this year is significant and competitive.

Airport Moving Map. We use it at United too and you're correct, it's pretty awesome.
