jetblue's laptops

[Pickle]

About how many of the pilot's laptops at jetblue end up lost per year?? Someone was trying to tell me that it was 2 computers per pilot per year. Now, if you said that pilots "lost" two hats (yes, I know that B6 does not require hats) per pilot per year, then sure. But laptops?!?!?!?

Can anyone shed some light on this??

Thanks.

That would suck since you're responsible for something like the first $600-700 in the event of loss/damage. You sign an agreement w/JetBlue when you take ownership of your laptop that cover's all that stuff.

No we don't lose two laptops a year. That is stupid. Maybe two power cords a year but that is all. Power cords are by far our largest expense on the computer end.


Stop the madness.

I once lost my laptop over Macho Grande.

Those wounds run pretty deep..

How about one for the Zipper?

 

[Pickle]

Thanks for the replies. I do think it sounded rather implausible.

Good info about the power cords though, maybe that is what he meant?

Just out of curiosity what can you put on your laptops? Personal email? Turbo tax? games? Or are they just for company stuff?Just wondersing what it ll be like if(when) we get em. Thanks

Current new hires do not have administrative rights to Windows XP so they can't install any software w/o having IT do it for them. Previously everyone had administrative rights. I think IT is looking for a more happy medium that still provides the network the kind of security they want.

Ted Striker: Because of my mistake, six men didn't return from that raid.
Elaine Dickinson: Seven. Lieutenant Zip died this morning.

Kramer : Lonliness, thats the bottom line. I was never happy
as a child . . . Christmas Ted, what does that mean
to you? It was living hell. Do you know what its
like falling in the mud and getting kicked, in the head.
With an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does,
that never happens. Sorry Ted, that's a dumb question.

The seediest dive on the wharf.....Every cutthroat and reject from Bombay to Calcutta...You didn't go in there unless you knew how to use your fists...the place was worse than Detroit...

The last thing he said to me, doc, he said, "Sometime
when the crew is up against it, the breaks are beating
the boys, tell them to get out there and give it all
they got and win just one for the Zipper. I don't
know where I'll be then doc, he said, but I won't smell
too good, that's for sure.

(Completely off topic, but what the hell.)

Joey: I think you're the greatest, but my dad says you don't
work hard enough on defence. And he says that lots of
times, you don't even run down court. And that you
don't really try...except during the playoffs.

F/O Murdock: The hell I don't!! ( grabs Joey by collar ) LISTEN KID!
I've been hearing that crap ever since I was at UCLA.
I'm out there busting my buns every night. Tell your
old man to drag Walton and Denier up and down the
court for 48 minutes.

Capt. Oever: Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?

Oh stewardess, I speak jive.

Doc: What did we have for dinner?

Elaine: We had a choice: chicken or fish.

Doc: Ahhh, that's right. I remember, I had lasagna.

My orders came through. My squadron ships out
tomorrow, we're bombing the storage depots at
Daiquiri at 18:00 hours. We're coming in from the
North, below their radar.
When do you leave?
I can't tell you that. It's classified...
