Airline pilots get to ditch heavy flight manuals for tablet devices

[scoreboardII]

Because it has the neat little bitten apple logo, MS products lack that marketing genius.

Apple actually lags into a market. They did not invent cell phones or smart phones, they just dramatically improved them for stupid people. However, once the Droid/MS side was spooled up, and they started developing stuff for stupid folks, Apple loses market share and now Droid/MS phones rule the market. Same thing will happen for pads and apple must adapt to a new "need".

Honestly, I think these pads are going to be like a dog chasing it's tail. Each year Apple comes up with a new ipad, slightly different size and all. So, one year from now, when Apple makes an ipad Air II, and it is 1/8inch narrower yet, how will those fit in the aircraft mounts?

Regarding the mounts - I think the suction cup solution will prevent the issue of differing models. It will also be a lot of fun when paired with a gallon of synthetic lubricant and a good wifi connection.

I've already emailed IT with my thoughts on this. They thanked me and said that I could expect a certified letter. I'm assuming that it's a medal or some form of commendation.

Or, perhaps a new name-tag for your leather jacket?

Thanks Jose. I would have worn that thing for 6 months without realizing it said Capt. Cuervo.

Smartarse.

Synthetic lube?

You need to switch over to my homemade organic lube. Last longer and is much cheaper. I'll PM you the recipe.

Your commendation will probably be a left over OneLuv coin. I hear they have thousands of them in the basement of the GO. Best thing is to make into a big rodeo-style belt buckle like I did.
