So with my basic math Fedex has roughly 1/10th of all commercial airline pilots. Maybe I should have used only one 'very'. Eh adjectives. I was told there would be not math.Geeknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6093644604429778937.post-80303472816592369782009-04-08T11:01:55.000-07:002009-04-08T11:01:55.000-07:00if a pilot wants can he buy a EFB himself and use ...if a pilot wants can he buy a EFB himself and use it? for e.g can u do it while ur company decide what to do...?

We take every freebee we can get. I have DRAWERS full of shampoo, soap and conditioners from overnights. I have enough hotel pens and paper to last years. Pilots won't spend their own money on EFBs. Plus we can't use them as they aren't company issued. Would be nice.Geeknoreply@blogger.com
