Think this is outdated info. I'm pretty sure minimum device requirements are now:

iPad Air2 or newer with at least 32GB and Wifi capability. This would include the Pro 9.7 32GB or iPad Pro 12.9 32GB.

I'm getting this from a memo dated 11-11-16

Someone please chime in if I'm wrong.

dang

A319 you want people to "respectfully" disagree with you posting on a public forum that other US Airbus opererators aren't our peers? That you are willing to accept substandard wages while in the middle of negotiations?

Saying such things on public forum do a disservice to those working hard on negotiations.

I can't "respectfully" disagree with those opinions.

DENpilot

Amen.

Someone who doesn't advocate for fair pay, refuses to show solidarity by simply wearing a lanyard, and then pretty much outright admits they are disconnected and don't care about these historic negotiations (see quote, "I come to work, do my job and go home, I never make any waves, and I do everything as my employer asks me to.") does not deserve respect.

I am not advocating for any work action, but in case you haven't noticed, A319, getting ground air hooked up takes an act of God in 99% of our stations. Never mind that when you pull in and wait 5 minutes for the GPU to be hooked up, ramp is mindlessly wandering around your idling engine. If you think the risks outweigh the couple of $$$ of fuel, and making our pax and FAs uncomfortable (as if their job isn't bad enough) is a better alternative than running the APU, then by all means, carry on.

I'm reading the same thing as you.

Correct. New hires must purchase an Air 2 with 32GB or better. Do not buy an Air, iPad 2,3,4 or a mini. They will not be allowed at some point. People who currently have them can continue to use them, but you shouldn't buy one now. The Air 2 can be bought for well under the $600 the company gives you. I bought mine on amazon Black Friday sale a few months back for $375.

I disagree with your stance. I want more money, and I want our pilot group to be respected and well compensated, but wearing a lanyard isn't going to help our situation.

Continue to bully others with opinions different than yours... Whatever.

PulledBreaker

Then what will?

DENpilot

Wow. There is no helping you.

FlipTheDolphin

Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't make them a bully. How do you expect our pilot group to be well compensated and respected with your victim mentality and low expectations? I promise if we get a contract equivalent to what Spirit pilots now make we will be anything but respected by our peers. If the lanyard isn't enough, will you stand with your fellow pilots at the G.O. on the 19th?

Unfortunate Apple stopped selling the air 2 this week because their new iPad comes out in two days
