Posted September 27, 2013 Wow, pilots with Surface 2 pretty cool In an unexpected turn, Delta has informed employees that it will be issuing aSurface 2 running Windows 8.1 RT to every pilot over the next two years. The airline ran an Electronic Flight Bag pilot program with iPads back in 2011, but for reasons unknown, that popular slate has since been scrapped. According toWindowsITPro, Delta had since planned to move forward with Nokia's rumored tablet, but has opted for the Surface 2 instead. The decision follows a move to equip flight attendants with Lumia 820 handsets, which will be used for processing payments and tracking passenger information.

Posted September 27, 2013 Well cool. Makes sense now that electronics are legal at all times on the plane. It does seem a bit unnecessary though, like what do they not already have that they need? sysloc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
