Any word on when the other fleets will get the EFB's?

 

[whatitdoing?]

Heard it was suppose to be this summer, but they were having problems with it. I was told that it had something to do with the plane's position on the airport diagram wasn't correct all the time. Maybe it's a software issue. Again, not sure that's the problem, just what I heard.

From what I understand, the 757 is the next to start receiving it, and soon.

 

[CAL EWR B737]

Started 756 school yesterday. Fleet manager and assistant fleet managers briefed class. First 757 to have electronic flight bag in August, entire B756 fleet within a year.

Bye Bye--General Lee

[Ex737Driver]

Total of 82 new aircraft through 2012. The fleet plan calls for a minimum and maximum for 2008-2011 as follows;

2008 - 371/382 min/max
2009 - 368/294 min/max
2010 - 367/399 min/max
2011 - 371/406 min/max

The min and max are dependent upon how many of the 737-300 and 737-500 aircraft are retired from the fleet over that time period.
