That gogo rep was hitting on you. I can think of a few simpler ways of tracking employees on the wifi connection, and I haven't worked in IT for over a decade.

Oh cool, you're getting satellite! Welcome to the Twenty-Teens!
Satellite Wifi that actually works! If you mean Gogo and it's "ground breaking" ATG-4 speed upgrade, it's still crappy Gogo. 2Ku is their newest technology but I think that's mostly gonna be used by the foreign airlines.

I find it hard to believe gogo is capable of such intimate signal tracking but I can't manage to get this site to load in under 5 minutes while I'm deadheading in 8C and my iMessage sits on "sending... sending... sending"
(It's really slick when I've used the new 2KU or whatever it is on the international delta fleet, but domestic... why even bother.)

1. Each device has a MAC address. They can pull the logs from every plane you've flown in the last month, and if there's a common MAC address on each of them, you're probably the only common link between those flights. (But this is labor intensive.)
2. They can pull the logs from a company site like flica and see when you logged in and see if any of those times were from the IP address of the planes wifi. (Easy)
Most of the time if you get caught on flica, it's because someone ratted you out. You picked up a trip that they wanted, and they knew you were in flight. Next thing you know, carpet dance.

(this is trivial to defeat, by the way; it is commonly and incorrectly asserted that a MAC address is both unique and immutable.)
This is a more accurate method.

Of course. It's fairly simple to spoof a MAC address. But the company isn't actively looking for this.
Yep. Don't be stupid.

This claim is highly suspect. Highly, highly suspect.
Whenever a sales rep with a technical product makes a claim like that, ask to speak with his/her sales engineer.

Or just get their number, because they're hitting on you.

And if you're intelligent enough not to be trip trading while operating a flight? How then?

It was the technician responsible for maintainance on the aircraft system. I'm a line pilot, why would I be taking to a sales rep?

I take it back, AS/VX will be installing fleet-wide Gogo 2Ku satellite wifi. I think Delta has this on some of their international jets? From what I hear, 2Ku is blazin fast.

...try taking the thing out of the pivot case, then seeing how the signal is.

Why, I don't need to connect to Gogo while working.

Yeah but working at a virtual airline on a virtual MD88/90 with short legs, you don't get any virtual time.

You're starting to get virtually annoying...
