The APA is working with AA and the FAA on a trial using iPads to eliminate manuals and paper charts for all phases of flight according to FO Hank Putek a member of the APA Safety Committee.
The trials are initially on AA's 777 from LAX to NRT and PVG

I thought the contract mandated that Carl ALWAYS flies first class...no questions asked!

As you posted that on Thursday, AA got approval from the FAA...

George, I did a internet search and I can't find where they got approved. Would love to see a reference. They FAA is allowing them to test the Ipad however they will still carry Jepps as a backup. AMR wants it for all phases of flight but the FAA as far as I can tell is only allowing testing at this point.

I think I understand what you're asking.
AE
Pref 1. My category xx%
Pref 2. Other category
If the computer can honor Pref 1 or Pref 2 of your AE, it will dump your VD prefs. That said, I can't imagine a scenario where your VD prefs wouldn't match exactly with your AE prefs.

I think Wilbur answered it above, but as long as your VD card matches you AE card exactly then you will be fine.
For example, your VD card (matching your AE) reads:
1. ATL320B 75%
2. MSP7ER
It will stop when it gets to #1 if you can hold it. If not, then it doesn't matter if it's an AE or VD, you wouldn't have held it either way. As long as both cards match, you can't (as far as I can tell) get something below what you can hold.
Was that the question? Or did I completely mis-interpret what you were asking?

The new ACARS software, block out is not just the cabin door. It's both cargo doors closed, the front door, and then brake release.
Pay us at sign in and stop paying 30 min after last block in of the day. Clock doesn't stop, 5+15 minimum a day. I'd do that at current rates. This would force the trip builders to construct highly productive trips.
That's my contract proposal...

I think Delta IT has a good strategy with the iPad. Let someone else ie: AA and Alaska do the research and testing, and when FAA approves it, then we can quickly buy some and get it up and running. Although Delta and quickly don't seem to go hand in hand.
