United Airlines will deploy Apple's iPhone 6 Plus to more than 23,000 flight attendants worldwide, according to a recent press release. Sam Risoli, United's senior vice president of inflight services, said the following:

"We are thrilled to make this investment in our flight attendants. iPhone 6 Plus will enable them to deliver an even higher level of flyer-friendly service and will offer our flight attendants simple, one-touch access to valuable work information, enabling them to better serve our customers."

Once distribution begins in the second quarter of 2015, United Airlines' flight attendants equipped with the iPhone 6 Plus will get access to safety and service information. The airline was also among the first to begin deploying iPads to pilots in the cockpit in 2011, and it plans to do the same thing with the iPad Air 2 this year.

Flight attendants will be able to handle most onboard retail transactions with the iPhone 6 Plus, and will also be allowed to access company email, united.com, and the company's Intranet, as well as policies and procedures manuals.

I can't imagine this will be happening any time soon, given the delays in production of the 6 Plus
