Today I learned from from another pilot that we could have iPads by the end of the year provided:
1) 2 of our 3 days of recurrent are now home study
2) We give back 4 hours of pay for 1 of those 2 days.
So the company is saving money on hotels for us in FLL, saving on per diem, able sell more seats to passengers with less deadhead flights for us to go to FLL, saving money on paper and toner for the release (much more than you might think), saving money on people to work in the classroom, and they still want more? No thanks. 160-740 per year, per pilot lost so they can save themselves money? I must be missing something here. I hope our union is smarter than this joke of an offer, and I hope the individual who mentioned this to me was not seriously considering it.

Of course management wants something for nothing! I'll keep my paper charts and my larger paycheck.

Give nothing. I just don't understand why this is even discuss anywhere. What's next, we get the "cool" tablets and we get reimbursed on our checks, and pay taxes on top of it.
2 out 3 days home study, so they can save money, and we are to give UP 4 hrs. Kiss my 30 lbs kit bag.

Lets see...
Opinionated know-it-all with narcissistic tendencies and lots of free time to bust ball$ on the internet. Sounds like pilot to me

The fact that we can even train on days off right now boggles my mind. That must stop.

That was given up, but would you really consider that a concession in the totality of contract 2010? Aren't far more people making more money now than under the previous contract? The pie was just divided differently, however overall contract 2010 was a bigger pie than the last one.
