Ipad with Delta Bidding/Online Training
Thinking about getting the wife an Ipad for Christmas. She is an FA for Delta but before I sink the cash in I wondered if the Ipad is fully functional with all the Delta bidding and online recurrent training needs?
I've heard the lack of flash player can be a problem but are there any real issues with using the Ipad with Delta systems and are there any work arounds?
Thanks

As buzz said, bidding is possible. But any E-learning currently is not possible. I did recently have the gentleman who is in charge of all E-learning tell me they are working on eliminating CDs, and making all training available online just as NWA had it. This will make things such as recurrent available via tablets(including iPads). Not sure how far away that is though.

I use a netbook that does not have a CD. I don't believe the training will run on a IPAD even if you download it. I don't however want a web based option where you have to have a solid internet connection to do the training. I prefer to do it on company time on sits ect... I never do it on my time.

Airfix,
Yes, bidding on the iPad works for pilots. Keep in mind that the FAs use a different vendor and program from the pilots. They use a program called "Carmen" for bidding and LMS for training. You should direct your question to someone who uses those programs, preferably a Delta FA.

Thanks for the tips. I guess the Ipad is on hold for now because I heard around our Thanks Giving dinner that Ipads are coming for FA's, at least pursers. No timeline given except it is probably definately maybe going to happen. She'll have to be happy with a new vacuum cleaner for Christmas
