British Airways to give crew iPads?

August 31st, 2011 · No Comments · The News

Another one picked from All Things D today, British Airways has handed 100 iPads to cabin crew to test out. The idea is to make the paper work (like flight manifests) easier, which would speed up how they do their job and improve the experience for passengers.

If the idea works they will deploy 1’800, and the response they have so far is very positive. I think this could be a great idea, anything that makes the crews job easier, and makes my time on the plane more relaxed and enjoyable gets my vote. Also, if you were curious BA is not the first, United recently handed out thousands to pilots along the same lines, and again if it makes their job easier I have no reason to object.
