> In fact, I'd say it's more useful than the ipad considering that the pilots won't be using it to only watch netflix. The Surface 2 at least allows for a bit of productivity with the free office suite. What? You realize you just said Pilots won't be using the pad just to watch netflix and then proceeded to applaud the free office suit for productivity, right? In what way do you see Pilots using the office suit for productivity? I'm really interested in hearing this. Seeing as the main use for tablets is as an electronic manual for Pilots. So, all they do with it is mostly reading and referencing. Why on earth would you need a Surface for that? That is like you buying your mother a laptop with the highest specs you can find when she told you all she wants to do is write emails. Complete overkill.
