Much better putting them on the airplane in a locked box. A lot fewer to buy also.

I'd much rather have an Apple allowance instead of the uniform allowance! I think I can get 10 more years out of my dockers, black tennies, and parka.

So why do we now have the fxcal and the bidx mobile? Don't they both basically do the same thing? Do we need to pay for both subscriptions?

They are different applications made by different pilots, up to you to pay for either one or both.

Ooops...

False start guys... It's crashing on 2013 open time. Its been in testing for 8 months, but never over a year change. I'll fix tonight and reject the current update and submit this one... Looking at 5 business days. (Give or Take) for approval. I'll be sure any purchasers (launch through update release) get an extra month.

In my opinion, it all depends on your seniority and how content you are with your monthly schedules and with FDX's '90s technology. If the '90s technology is good enough for you, then save your money, otherwise, it's a wise investment and the more tools the merrier.

Now, you'll still have to carry your own pad along with theres. Bag is another 2lbs heavier. Lets say they give us an Ipad that is a different animal to Fedex owning and letting us use.

They can increase the uniform allowance and let us purchase similar to what we have now. Let me go get another beer.

Much better plan. We are too paranoid to use a company controlled asset for personal use. If Fedex can get the feds to sign off (doubtful IMHO) on it, I'd rather use my I pad that they pay for but I control.

Most likely Fedex will put them in a lock box on the aircraft. Cheaper and keeps them under company control.
