American Airlines frontline and line maintenance employees work off of Apple iPhone and iPad devices. These are costly – so they’ve notified flight attendants just what happens if they lose their phone either by accident or if their phone is stolen.
The bottom-line is that cabin crew face discipline up to termination for misplacing or damaging their iPhones. And the airline will presume any claim of theft is untrue unless the flight attendance can, in effect, solve the crime.
