Last month, Delta airline announced that it will equip 19,000+ of its Flight Attendants with Windows Phone Handsets. Now Delta announces that its pilots will get the Surface 2 tablets.

“In less than two years, Delta cockpits will be paperless as we roll-out the Microsoft Surface 2 tablet running Windows 8.1 RT as our company-issued device,” the airline alerted its employees recently. “The 757/767 fleet will be the first to make the transition with the 777, 747 and MD88 as fast followers. Look for an announcement from Delta and Microsoft in the coming days about our partnership on the initiative.”

This is in fact an awesome news for Microsoft. [NASDAQ:MSFT]
