Post #16 says it all, it's a safety issue not having it sometimes:

I've never seen anyone in 121 carry their own iPad, own Foreflight, with an adsb receiver.

There's no safety issue, unless the crew make it into one. It's a customer service issue where instead of making it into DEN on a sensible route, you end up spending hours in BFF after doing an offline divert.

Ive never met one “who does it anyway”. It’s not authorized and not worth a potential violation for something that is redundant. The company supplied equipment is enough and if it’s not reliable enough to navigate a particular route you pick another or delay.


So back to the hangar or your moms basement for you, whatever the case may be.

What did you and Go Go used to get the monthly subscription of? It must’ve been something if you shared it!

Haha. Touché. Actually that reminds me that we did share a monthly subscription amongst friends. If I remember correctly, it was $38/month. Oh that GoGo. She was something….

I always appreciate the rides, but I was about to slap the FA that was playing the same 8 seconds of the 'I like to move it move it MOVE IT!' song on repeat, over the PA, for about 3-4 straight minutes during deplaning.

Our product is nothing short of cringeworthy far too often.
