I have NOT been told to dig out my old flight bag out my closet but with all the new changes around here, I believe anything.....On the United side, we were told Ipads by years end...What year I have no clue!

Have not heard anything about 'cancelled'.

I'm sure they're just sitting comfortably in a cold, dark room right along side the pallets of iPads that 'await'.

BTW....Steve Jobs - RIP.

Along with the Dynamic Bidding Model, offline PBS bidding, and the "loan" payback.

So many promises, so few fulfilled.

If you look through the new FM, they section that references bags (wont list specifics for safety reasons), says CAL will still have the ability to carry the same as L-UAL pilots PLUS one flight kit. TIFWIW.

*** side are you on???? I agree with him, no contract, no favors! Simple, they bought em', let them figure it out. I will take the paper ones if thats the way they want to play...I personally am tired of being given the attitude you propose, "take it or else".

I assume you are CAL??? THAT sir is why you have the FAR's for a contract. Not much thinking there now is there?? Beatin down?? Being from ol' EAL, we watched as the CAL group stole our aircraft, flying, fuel farms, reservation system, did it all with **** work rules that no one wanted to work under etc etc....but no I aint holdin a grudge.;)

It's high time BOTH groups grow some *** Put it to em. Let them keep those IPADS in the warehouse until they pony up!

I will report here when I, a lowly line pilot, have one in my hands. If it's before the first of the year, I will be digitally surprised.

Latest I heard was CAL gets iPads likely in May 2012 now. Have to get mount designed, FAA approved, contracted out, and installed. Power source same deal. UAL 320s get them first.

Enough with the arrogance.

I get this attitude from Wendy's video too, "...what they fail to appreciate is the maturity of this pilot group..." as if to say the CAL pilots are a bunch of idiots that dont know any better, but the UAL brain trust will show them the way?

Give me a break... Let's talk about what's going on at the LEC level in your union's west coast locals. You guys are about to be played.

Why not lead by example rather than throwing stones?

Sounds real good, but until we see it demonstrated, it's just talk and self promotion.

Are you the tip of the spear refusing to pick up your iPad, or are you one of the people not doing the training so you go lost qual even though the union has admitted they really can't stand behind you?
