If not, then I get it.
However, if you are miserable in this environment (your left seat environment) do you think moving to a major, commuting to reserve, sitting in the right seat pulling the gear for some other captain is gonna be any better?

If you are not miserable, you certainly come across that way.
When the door is closed, it's not bad. That being said, the EFB will be used for a point of contact, reflows and notifications will now stare you in the face. Set parking brake, in time verified by ACARS, EFB notification of your reflow, extension ect will be automatic. You equate cynicism with misery, different things. I have seen the SKYW machine operate, and I have no illusion that the future will be any different than the past. 20 million dollar loss, Mike Kraupp, Treasurer of Inc. canned, things are gonna get serious, and our lives will be different, as they flail about trying to make it work. The breakdown of the losses will be very telling.

Who would pay for data to be notifiable?
I'm skeptical, but stuff happens.

WiFi, all the bag scanners are on it. Why do you think SKYW wants the surface, partition and all the"aviation" stuff? SKYW wants every pilot to be on reserve and with this and no contract you will be. Your choices will be accept and do it or quit. All they will have to do is fire a couple of guys for refusing, give them 3 months of hearings/meetings and give them their jobs back with letters of counciling in their files and all 3400 will snap into line.

My buds at GoJet are sitting in the left seat and they hate the company, and they don't seem to be visiting destinations locations halfway across the globe. But they get to fly their @sses off.

It will be interesting to see who is better off in the long run
I think the answer is clear!
