Delta to Equip More Than 30,000 Flight Crew Members With iPads and iPhones

Probably both, but they seem to be preferring iOS. It could be they see Apple as less of a competitor then Google or maybe just because iOS is easier to deploy in an enterprise. Fewer models to validate in the environment and more management features. Not sure at Microsoft, but most enterprise environments give very few Android options to choose from. Many always allow the latest iPhone, but take a long time to approve new Android devices forcing employees in to an older model.

My thoughts exactly!

While I admire Steve Jobs and his work with Apple, even if he were alive today and I happened to be a bigger Apple fan than ever before, I would still not fly on Delta nor any other US airline just because they switched to using Apple products. US airline companies have the worst service. Apple treats their customers with respect. US airline companies treat their customers with disrespect and even hostility. I will always be willing to pay a little more to fly overseas with a non-US airline. That is how much I dislike my several past experiences with US airline companies.

Blah blah, this sort of response is typical from foreign airline employees that attack their competitors at every level. They never mention their own massive issues, like subsides that are the sole thing keeping them afloat and gold plating their losing models. We won’t even talk about human and employee rights. The US must comply with US labor law, some foreign carriers in certain areas treat employees like indentured servants.

Maybe the high failure rate of the surface made it unacceptable for the pilots to depend on.

This reminds me of the NFL and how they were forced to the surface and hate them.

The Surface 2 and 3 are awful. Unreliable and slow. The screen response rate causes constant problems. MS can’t even get charging or updates right. The pilots at Delta drove this out of reliability concerns, but the FA’s getting iPhones is huge. It’s also more like 17,000 iPads for pilots and 35000 iPhones for flight attendants, instant conversions for a lot of Android users.

Great, enjoy being treated like garbage on US airplanes for being a paying customer. Just a little tip: if you're flying on United Airlines, I hope you have good medical insurance.

Also, while you're dealing with old, frumpy, and grumpy US airline stewardesses who stand aside and do nothing while fascist cops brutally drag a paying passenger off the plane, I'll be enjoying looking at young and hot foreign airline stewardesses who treat me like an actual human being.

Yep. Standard boilerplate from ME airlines. Hot women huh? Like you have a chance with that slave laborer flight attendant who would be brutally disciplined for interacting with an infidel. Should we talk about homophobia, which is rampant in your post?

You can tell who is making the posts by their misogyny towards women. They skip over the little fact that airlines like Delta have hired tens of thousands of young men and women over the past six years.

How about your pilots that keep crashing perfectly good 777’s?

Standard boilerplate from a SJW.

First of all, I have never flown on a Middle Eastern airline, nor have I been to the Middle East. But if given a choice, I will gladly fly with any Middle Eastern airline instead of any US airline. Look at the customer service rankings.

You say "homophobia" is "rampant in [my] post." Care to give examples?

You also say there is "mysogyny towards women" in my posts. Again, care to give examples?

You sound like a Tim Cook-level SJW. You should be CEO of Apple.

Why would there be converts? The phones are only used over wifi as POS terminals and for info such as schedules and connecting gates. Are FAs allowed to register them with their own call and data plans? Makes no sense.

I’m curious which mobile OS will Microsoft employees switch to? Hmmm.

Well the Microsoft Store now sells the Galaxy S8 and Note 8....

Really?!

I guess it’s not unlike Apple used to sell Nokia and Palm PDA’s in their store long ago.

Further I think Microsoft was hinting their defeat when they made a push for sync of calls and sms to Android and iOS early last year for Win10 OS environment.

Yeah I inquired about it last time in the store. It's cheaper at the Microsoft Store and it included Office apps preloaded (I mean Office 365 is required, so I imagine they include that).
