I don't want an iPad. Especially not if I have to pay for it, deduction or cash, I definitely don't want to pay for a tool that a company requires! They give it, fine, I'll use it.
A part from that it is a huge deception to see that the iPad2 has no USB plug and still ridiculously lacks the flash player. I consider it a reading device with some joke apps, but no real tool for en route or at home, therefore hugely overpriced.

will be 'locked' for company use only..
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!

Personally I would not thank you for a company locked and controlled iPad, I simply do not want to carry around that overgrown handcuffed mobile phone.

If not an iPad for each pilot at EK, how about an iPad for each Aircraft (x2) at EK?
In fact, I think once the iPad 3 comes out in September, EK could get a whing ding of a deal from Apple on the Ipad 2 for the fleet.... no?
Wishful thinking

IPAD 10 will be great. Will fix all the problems of the previous 9 versions. I am sure EK will wait for this one. Salary deductions to start soon so Flight Ops are all prepared for the big launch.

You don't have to not want to thank me at all. I was just asking a rhetorical question. But your reasoning raises another point.
"I don't like being told what to do" seems to be a common trait by many these days.
If they do eventually hand out lap-tops/tablets, even the crap they give the pursers, then what are you going to do?
I don't like being told where to live
I don't like being told to wear a uniform
I don't like being told that my roster is not what l want.....
blah blah blah
Get over it princess
