Well I hope we can keep pilots on special assignment for all that time.

Hope we get the IPAD thing worked out shortly. It's holding everything else back.

Special Assignment are for those special people. If you know what I mean!

Plan on 10-15 minutes to complete the activation; however, additional time is available for questions or assistance from the iPad SME. A schedule of available sessions is located below. You will need your Skynet & company email username and passwords for activation. The iPad will be for reference use only above 10,000 feet as per the FOM bulletin. We expect full phase-of-flight authorization soon. Please reference FOM Bulletin 1202 for additional details on the use of the iPad."

Now wait a minute. Not one person has said anything about pay for this?? Guys are slipping and being distracted by shiny new toys.

(I'm being snarky and joking of course.)

Good point. Is the iPad required equipment?

(AP) A Transportation Security Administration baggage inspector at Dallas/Fort Worth Airport is facing two to 10 years in prison for stealing Apple iPads from luggage over eight months, according to reports.

Clayton Keith Dovel, 36, of Bedford, Tex., was arrested Feb. 1 and indicted by the Tarrant County grand jury last week on charges of theft by a public servant of items valued up to $20,000, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported. Dovel is free on $5,000 bail and has been suspended indefinitely by the TSA.
