PDC - yes (doesn't everyone?)

USB hubs to charge all your devices
Wifi hot spots on the ground
ADS B in the air
ACARS also auto uplinks route of flight and performance data to the box
All this leaves almost nothing for you to do on a turn but go get coffee and maybe some food if you want it. I'm constantly amazed at how much easier the job is compared to the regionals.

Now, do they become active in April or sooner? The bid packet states "base transfers" as of April 1st.

13 in ROW
1 more delivery coming in 2020 bringing us up to 104 a/c
