Glendalegoon, I didn't intend to open the debate about gate-to-gate device use. It's been discussed to death here. In the meantime regulators on both sides of the Atlantic, in the antipodes and elsewhere have decided there are no safety issues.
Now we see 60,000 flight attendants objecting not with evidence of safety issues but because there was no 'public comment'.
WTF? I really don't want to see safety regulation by public opinion. do you?
