Sorry HungMonster, I didn't see your earlier question.
I agree, your first response was "polite, friendly and informative". Rather formal, but still polite, friendly and informative - and it even had a witty twist in the final para.
I only "singled you out" over your second post because you always (I exaggerate) seem to refer to calling the police if someone disobeys a rule or your 'lawful command'.
You suggested the PPL was concealing the GPS because he realised that what he was doing was "stupid, irresponsible and illegal". Do you really think that's why he conceals it?
As you can see from the posts, not everyone agrees with you about a hand-held GPS, whatever the "rules" say - if anything. Our safety chat doesn't mention GPS as far as I know.
You're not going to approve of this but, I admit I use my discretion over (bold for emphasis)some rules. Many of us do - don't you ever, ever?
C'mon - despite what you say on Prune, would you really call the police if some pax was caught with electronic equipment on after the PA instruction to switch them off? Surely a ticking-off would be enough?
