IPADS to OO!

We won't be caught up until we get windbreakers.

....and the boards to lay across the aisle, to sleep in the airplanes!:beer:

Wow, they get an OJI from a 5lb manual, yet our OJI's for the 30lb flight bag holds no merit.

Rampers are required to lift 70lbs maybe they could give you a hand?

Mesa has had iPads for a while. Glad you guys are finally catching up...

Wait. Didn't Mesa require YOU to buy the IPAD? Really? You are touting that like Mesa is the greatest thing ever. If the company asks me to buy it in order to have it the answer will be thanks but no thanks. You want me to use an IPAD, you are paying for it.

Not me. I would buy my own ipad and give brad holt a hand job to get rid of this 50 lb flight case and the daily jepp revisions

Hahaha. Wow. I hate my bag just as much as you, but damn, that's pretty extreme.

Airside is just as good. Maybe if I still had to lug the flight case I would feel different. But with airside, screw that. I'm not buying an IPAD for them.

No kidding, them dang iPads are expensive, whereas the HJ is free and BH would appreciate the change from cornholing pilots and porking F/As.

You don't see 60-65 year old rampers. Not that it's difficult to ackwardly lean over and place a 30lb bag in the glory hole (cause they gave us proper instructions), but over time it's going to tap away and eventually pull those back muscles out of place.

I heard from SkyWest that they are getting IPADS for... INFLIGHT!!! Thats right, the FA's are going to be issued IPADS for the manuals. I was told this by a senior inflight manager... Apperantly to many flight attendants are losing their manuals or are getting a lot of OJI's due to the weight of the manual. They expect it to improve performance numbers by measurable number......Discuss!

That's stupid! And the CS agents and rampers get paycuts?
Improved performance numbers will be minuscule by this. Our performance numbers were better when we had our own CS/ramp working our planes, but those days are gone.

Back when I used to work at an airline cargo office, the NW rampers I had to deal with had to be at least 65!

Yeah, same with the old BZN NW rampers, old and slow Union(blech!) workers.

:laugh:We loaded and offloaded circles around those guys.:laugh:
