Tinroad

What you are asked to repost is a trashing of APS.


As I previously pointed out, e.Digital erred in referring to Aircraft Protective Systems, Inc. (APS) as "APS, Inc." in its description of the company. However, in looking further into the situation, I believe that e.Digital has grossly exaggerated the potential revenue from this partnership and been very misleading in describing APS.

(They call themselves APS inc btw.)



The company has 3 products it seems to offer for sale (although no pricing or order information is given. These products are a (cargo) belt loader nose, a cargo door protector and a kevlar flight deck barrier. There is no mention about any IFE products or services.

WWW.AIRPROSYS.COM and Aircraft Protective Systems understands the importance of protecting the privacy of our customers and others who visit our Web site. We consider any personal information you may supply to us to be personal and confidential, and we are committed to using this information solely for the purpose of providing you with superior service and convenient access to the right products and services.

Aircraft Protective Systems collects, retains, and uses customer information only where we believe it is useful (and allowed by law) in administering Aircraft Protective Systems business and to provide products, services, and other opportunities to our customers.


It has already been established that APS and EDIG are NOT providing "the first portable IFE solution to the airline industry" as a company called InMotion had been renting DVD Players and DVD movies to airline passengers at NO charge to the airlines long before this PR was release, so that statment is false.

<bA DVD palyer is not the same as an EDIG IFE player with secure data.


Aircraft Protective Systems limits employee access to personally identifiable information to those with a business reason for knowing such information. Aircraft Protective Systems stresses the importance of confidentiality and customer privacy in the education of its employees. Aircraft Protective Systems also takes appropriate disciplinary measures to enforce employee privacy responsibilities.

Aircraft Protective Systems does not disclose our customers’ personal or account information to unaffiliated third parties except when the information is provided to help complete a customer initiated transaction; the customer requested the release of the information; or the disclosure is required or allowed by law.

Aircraft Protective Systems maintains appropriate security standards and procedures regarding unauthorized access to customer information.

If Aircraft Protective Systems provided personally identifiable information to a third party, we insist that the third party adhere to similar privacy principles that provide for keeping such information confidential.



Here is the web for APS inc

APS is privately owned by William (Bill) Boyer, Jr. who also works for

Bill Boyer, Jr., President of APS, said, "As a certified airline service and equipment provider, we have established key relationships with major airlines. In our business dealings with these airlines we recognized the substantial cost they would have to incur to upgrade their fleets with embedded IFE systems. Beginning with a major U.S. airline, APS and e.Digital are providing the first portable IFE solution to the airline industry at a significantly reduced cost."


Aircraft Protective Systems, Inc. is a leading developer of solutions for the airline industry. We recognize the need for innovation and development of new concepts at every level in the industry. Our team has years of experience working with aircraft and understand the needs of everyone involved from the Chief Executive Officer right down to the ground crew loading and unloading the aircraft.

Forget that the description given seems to be a gross exagerration of what APS does, what certification does APS have? The web site makes no mention whatsoever about any kind of certification. If it were ISO 9000 or AS 9100 Certified both the PR and the web site would be expected to state that. So what "certification" does APS have?

Tinroad..."APS is privately owned by William (Bill) Boyer, Jr. who also works for Alaska Air as a "Ramp Service Agent."

Would Dave Prewitt, the inventor of the belt loader bumper protector... be an owner also ? Or did he give away his idea to Bill ?

He's Alaska's vice president of safety

Sounds complicated to me, but in all likelihood the airline(s) will be the entity taking any financial risks.

Tinroad. With all due respect,sir...you don't "see a downside in all of this"??? You've got to be kidding?

Do we have another management credibility issue again?

Alaska Air isn't going to invest any capital. (now verified)
The baggage handler(now verified) doesn't have any cash.
Who's going to fund our IFE dream? 20th Century Fox? No way.

I'm going back to listen to the webcast again to try to snap myself out of this cloud of renewed distrust.
