EFB (iPad) distrubution question

[CorpCaptain]

You are a flaming idiot. Glad I have never had to work for a dork like you. Pilots live on porn.

That just made my day.

Funny. Damned Funny. WAAYYY Damned Funny. Thanks.

Just not terribly uncommon in aviation....you become a manager by being the guy who is willing to sit in the office all the time and be a YES man to whatever policy comes around...

This is very true. Sad. And can you imagine the conversation between a couple of his pilots sitting at the bar in Teterboro after a couple of days on the road and a couple of beers? Talking about the twilight zone that they work in, and the boner that they work for, and the job search they've both got going on to get away from this madhouse?

Whoa guys. This is not uncommon in the real world (non-aviation world). My wife has a laptop issued by the State agency she works for. They are strictly prohibited from personal use, including pictures, music, facebook, personal email, and adding any programs not furnished by the state and installed by their IT people. When the computer goes in to IT for repair or upgrade, they do check it. It will result in disiplinary action, starting with a warning and, after several offenses, dismissal.
We decided to keep the porn on my computer.

A good flight department shouldn't have much in common with a state agency. JMHO.

 

[BoilerUP]

Anybody who is stupid enough to view porn on a company-issued electronic device probably deserves to be fired.

That said, I also wouldn't go actively looking for such stupidity as a flight department manager...

 

[WWDriver]

I agree that State agencys and good flight departments have little in common. My point was that there are many organizations out there that have stingent personal use policies for company equipment, including computers. While I personally may not agree with some of the policies, it is their equipment, not mine.

 

[BigMike]

...it is their equipment, not mine.

True. And it's his job, not mine, so I guess he's happy there.

Yes, but the difference beween an iPad and a windows laptop is that you cannot, as in: cannot harm it by using it for anything, installing a game, or any other kind of app on it. The main reasin IT departments have these restrictions on computers is because everything you do on a PC puts in in peril. And the thing needs to be tip top just to run excell properly. And the last thing windows needs is Phyllis from accounting's quilt design software running in the background.

Not the case with a iPad. I'm not even going to speak to the lunacy of spot checking everyone's devices for contraband in the form of Angry Birds or some such.

Something tells me handing out fines to pilots may result in transcons at FL220. Maybe consider starting that APU 20 hours before T/O? Gotta get that cabin cool you know.
