What are you doing with the EFB that you're concerned the company is spying on you? Personally, the only time mine is on and open is in the cockpit. They wanna watch me stare out the window in cruise, go for it. The fact that I can connect to F999A maybe 20% of the time leaves me with the warm fuzzies that they aren't watching.

It's not about accessing remote features while you fly.

I don't disagree with you....but I won't even give them the opportunity to do that.

I am still pretty good friends with the guy who set up the iPad program at a pretty big charter company. He indicated there were security issues. Also it was kept quiet but one of the pilots was watching porn on his company iPad and was punished for it.

See, that's my point. THe EFB is for flying. Not for personal use on the ground. When I'm not flying, it stays off and in the bag. I have my own tablet for my stuff. It's the guys who use the company tablet/iPad for "personal" things who put themselves at risk. Don't be that guy.

While we are an entirely different subset of aviation- we "had" pilots brings their own iPads, with their own subscriptions to whichever charting service they preferred. The pilots then simply paid for the service on the company CC, or, submitted expenses.

As such, private iPads were linked to iPhones and iMessage etc. one of the pilots received an inappropriate message on the iPad while showing the boss a weather cell on said iPad.

Needless to say, I decided to swing by Best Buy on the way home, and buy 3 LTE enabled iPads for the plane, installed ForeFlight Set them each up with the same N number gmail (same one across all 3) and mount them in the plane. No more personal devices used for work- sans cell phone which we still pay the bill for. The iPads have nothing except for the Arinc and ForeFlight app, tied to the same gmail act. While they all have lte and wifi (above 10k feet) we now draw a clear line between work and personal.

Easier for us to leave them in the plane- at Delta- they're probably disappear in record time. I still can't imagine using a company provided device for anything personal. At FSI, even though I had a company cell phone, I still carried my personal one as well. I refrained from doing anything personal on the issues phone. Just not worth the risk.
