More good news from UAL. Slowly doing away with flight bags....

 

[PUNISHER]

That's a lot of ipads! I wonder what kind of deal they are getting from Apple?

 

[CesnaCaptn]

Word is, Alaska paid about $250 a piece for the first version. UA probably got a better deal based on volume and the fact that that version is another year older.

 

[Raoul Duke]

how many will be missing or broke in the first week?

 

[The Victors]

Now that's funny. Still though, pretty cool deal.

 

[SBD]

Where do guys keep them during approaches/taxi? Is there a holder that keeps them in place? Just wondering. I really couldn't imagine like a kneeboard type thing.

 

[jonjuan]

Is this in lieu of pay raises?

Ipads!? I just creamed myself... Go ahead 'n cancel contract negotiations, I'm satisfied with the Jesus Tablet.

Free download of Angry Pilots app if a contract isn't settled soon.

Didn't you hear? UAL will probably next buy 4 billion cookies and store them all in a warehouse in Janesville. How about a raise for the pilots next?
