SWA and IPADS

[GIZMONC]

Where is SWA and using IPADs for the cockpit. It would be a good deal if all the manuals were electronic. Heard rumor that it was approved and each pilot will get $500 to purchase an ipad but when is this going to happen. After all the 717 birds go to DELTA, or the 717 pilots come over to SWA?

Starts in APR

The I Pad was to advanced for them. Waiting for Apple to retrofit the Comador 64 into a Pad.

Grammar much?

I agree with Tankerhead. If you are going to try to sling insults how about learning proper grammar and spelling in the process.

Relax people it was a joke. Get over yourself.

What was the joke? The fact that your spelling and grammar usage is on par with a 5th grader?

 

[FIREMAN]

Actually I would compare it to a 3rd grader.

Say "what"! Say "what" one more mothaf^ckin time! Do they speak English in "What"?

 

[waveflyer]

Yeah, I hope, and it looks like we have, that we learned the multi-million$ lesson from the headsets debacle-
Give us a stipend for the amount of the minimum ipad we need for the job and let us buy the suped up iPad or not, use our own or not-
Should've handled the headsets the same way and is a good common sense way to do this-
Good job- it's going to take a while to go full up, but the stipend was a great decision

From what country?

 

[dicko]

From what country?

3rd grade here in the US. Which is equivalent to Kindergarten level in most first world countries.

 

[RJ Bum]

Like the maturity level on here compared to other sites......

Is this ipad thing true for SWA?

Yes it is.

They've selected a couple hundred pilots for a trial starting in April. Plan is to turn it on fully in Jan. I think it's going to make things much better. I'm tired of digging into a flight bag that is stuffed to the gills with everything you could imagine. Bring it on.

I j/s on American recently and they had them. Seriously cool. Of course you have to charge your iPad! If both pilots forget, that's going to be embarrassing. And they said theirs wasn't set up to show two plates at once. I think we have to have that capability. Arrival plate and approach plate coming in, 10-9 and ramp diagram taxing.

The Jepp app leaves much to be desired.
