Mercator, AKA EKIT, have no idea what a Mac is and nor do they want to know.
The CITRIX access is a joke and is always being "fiddled" with so access to normal portal apps is a continual pain in the @ss. And you only end up in the "old" groupworld anyway, after a recent fiddle by them!
iPads all round? I don't think so. Look at the ancient laptops they give the pursers! Admittedly the newer replacement ones have touch screen, but really, they are old!
Which now begs the question, why do pursers have laptops and FD do not?
So for them to hand out iPads to FD when those who will support it have only heard of XP....forget IT!
