It could take up to 4 hours in EWR. Slow due to bandwidth.

no kidding. The new process is you get issued a new iPad and they have you logon to AW, Jepp App, and WSI... takes a few minutes. All the downloads can be done sitting on your kitchen island or on your hotel desk. You get to hold onto your old iPad until your satisfied with the downloads being completed... so if not done before step time then take both. And before anyone asks... you get no ADD PAY for carrying two iPads on a trip.

I did mine at home, hit update all and let it sit in the counter. That and then updating Jeps probably took 45 minutes but it just sat there I didn't babysit it.

Did you file an expense report for the data/internet bill?

I pay the same amount for home internet no matter how much I use... You're charged by amount of data? Do you also expense internet for your PBS bidding?

Pick your battles. How bad do you really have it right now? I also flight plan in my hotel room. Should I be crucified? I also click "update" on the jepp app at home while I get ready for work.

Who cares?

Delta board. Full access to app store, 22GB cell data before it throttles back.

Heres a hint:

With the new Jepp FD-Pro upgrade on the surface, you get to see exactly what the IPAD wil be, pretty much exactly the same except works very fast, way less "glitches" that I have noticed. GPS works, and ATT Cell service for when not in wifi areas.

It works great and switches between plates without any delay, follows along your flight patch, brings up notes along your route that are pertinent, like FIR boundaries and terrain boxes. Taxi chart automatically comes up on landing and ships position displays on chart to follow along with your taxi, what a boon to ground SA!

The biggest changes is a pretty different layout of the content locker, but supposedly a new content locker is in the works to be even better in the near future, but probably after the IPAD rollout according to the training.

IPAD will be unlocked too, so you can put your personal Apps on the IPAD and use it as your sole device. My prediction: Pilots are going to love it, even the complainers!

Oh my god.
Delta could get daily sand thrown in their cracks and our guys would be jealous.

We could get gold bouillon on Thursdays and guys would complain about the weight

Delta is hiring... upgrade to NB Captain in about 3-4 years. No excuse to move if you're not happy here... and you get full access to the App Store... extra bonus.
