Delta begins tablet EFB test; eyes communication transformation

"We're loading Jeppesen Mobile TC charting software, a GoodReader document viewer that contains all of our manuals in an electronic format, and the Journey browser, which allows access to iCrew. A Delta Meteorology app provides access to pilot-tailored graphical weather information and real-time looped Delta radar. Each pilot will have access to their Delta e-mail account and calendar,"
CX, if you get onto this we might have a similar system by say 2050 perhaps 2048 if you start a working group.

"The tablets have also been loaded with a writing app for notes, an Atomic web browser, a PDF viewer, a Wi-Fi finder app, and crew rest and cruise rest period calculators. Both Wi-Fi and 3G are available domestically."
Make sure you get IMT involved because they are the best on the planet they might be able to put the eDocs on it, CX could be the first airline in the world with this sort of technology, just like when they invented aviation

"We are going to pursue real-time security advisories, reroute information and electronic auto sign-in when [pilots] are in range of the airport or a specific gate."

Careful what you wish for. It sounds as if management would like to track their pilots' whereabouts constantly. Personally, not something I would be comfortable with...
