How much did you pay to carry jepps?

[gator_hater]

I think there are many benefits to the tablets. From manual/jepp revisions to mtc records for the aircraft that pilots can readily access. A 1st gen iPad can do these. If you want to play games and watch high def porn you're gonna have to pony up for your own hotel entertainment.

I don't have any use for an iPad, I prefer my laptop. So, I'll carry the flight bag. If brad wants to buy me a tablet ill use it and return it if I leave. If my replacement doesn't have his own tablet then he can use mine.

But.... the bag is so damn heavy, the up front cost of the ipads would be made back saving on all the flight bag related OJI's. hahahaha

Airside was as a result of those hahahaha, OJIs. Don't you have some oil to clean up?

WOW! Listen to you guys rationalize having to pay for the iPad. Some of you can be talked into anything...

Some of us already own iPads. Some want one and would gladly buy one and deduct it on our taxes. Those that don't can keep their bags.

I own a car. Should I use it to ferry people from Atlanta to Chattanooga?

So how did they talk you into buying a chart case? Do you use your own headset? Just wondering... or did you somehow talk your employer to buy these for you. You rationalize away how there is a difference. Please don't say "Traditionally pilots have been required to provide their own flight cases for many decades". Ipads are a relatively new tool.

Ummm not exactly. Remember after the Colgan accident and we all saw lots of FAA jumpseat audits? Part of those jumpseat rides was pub checks. It was found that Skywest pilots were almost an order of magnitude more out of date on their Jepp updates than the rest of the industry. Ya see, ASA had 4 guys go work for the FAA after SLC closed. I am friends with 3 of them. They all confirmed this independently. Skywest was given the option to avoid a huge fine and media turmoil by "making sure our pilots are never out of date". Thats how you got Airside. If OJI's were the reason, we would all have them, since Skywest Inc self insures all of its employees.

Sweet!

So basically, all we have to do is risk getting a violation/dequal/employer disciplinary action and launch an en masse campaign and have EVERY CRJ/ERJ stop doing revisions and we can get airside?

You stay classy, San Diego.

I'd run, not walk to the ipad store. Other than security, there is nothing I hate more than the flight kit! Give me another $1/hr. and I'll buy my own jepp subscription.
