At Atlas, we use the same Content Locker. It is easy to use. The company auto updates it, as long as it has a Wifi connection (ours have ONLY wifi...we have a company phone that is wifi and AT&T, also with content locker on it).
NOTE: We do not have to do anything with Content Locker. The company keeps it updated, both on our iPad and our S5 phone. All we have to do to update is connect the ipad/S5 to any wifi signal.
We also recently go the OK to update to 9.2.1. We have our own version of Jepps FD. So far, working well. We DO NOT have wifi on our aircraft, though, so we can't get satellite radar, like those with wifi on the aircraft are able to...
Our iPads are completely wide open....we have iTunes pre-installed...the company said we can use our own iTunes login, or make a new one with the company email...our choice. They are wifi only, but in wifi we can add whatever apps we want.
Our Samsung S5 phone, however, IS completely locked down. We can't use it to surf the web outside of wifi...have only certain company authorized apps/websites we can use via the AT&T 4G. We cant add/delete/update ANYTHING on our S5 phone. We just got the phone feature added to Captains' phones...so we can call the company from any location worldwide. All of us, including FOs and FAs, have an Atlas chat feature so we can chat with Operations, as long as we have any type of data connection for our S5 phone.
