IPad EFB for all Southwest pilots just announced

[RLAblows]

Either way it sounds like a step in the right direction.

SWA will buy used android tablets developed in the 90's for their EFB's.

I just heard they received a great deal from Fry's on their 'un-named' tablets. $99 each with an extended warranty (because your going to need it).

Is that how it goes. I'm a little rusty.

I thought the stone chisel pad was being tested last month... did it not pan out or is it going to line testing now?

No where in the memo did it say anything about "iPad". Makes me wonder if it wouldn't be something else.

Did I say I was quoting the RBF. Maybe i checked a couple of different sources to verify. But to enlighten you, according to the training dept and FAA the IPad is the option chosen for testing and eventual dispursement.

Good, I hope you're right, but it still wouldn't surprise me if it's something else. One possibility would be the smaller iPad the rumored to come out this fall.
