An interesting read. Thankfully it takes the spotlight off that imbecile from last week and really hones in on the industry itself.

Yes this is good and all- the industry has my full support.
However- this June the FA on CO, in SXM, in First, was nothing short of a Keystone Cop telling me my 10 y.o. son can be arrested for taking pictures out the window. I instructed JR to keep firing and use my broadside as a shield.
Damn!! If I'm sitting by a window I'm usually taking pics but I try not to do it when the FAs are nearby. What exactly IS the rule or is there not one and you are just subject to the individualQuote:

There are some F/A's out there who can be a tad on the touchy side in terms of security but I would not call it "Unwarrented" per see..... It is about balance.... Most are great... Some just need a little bit of understanding.... If approached from a positive angle most will receive you quite well though.... It is all about the approach. Just like flying. :cool:
Perhaps the CO FA was enforcing the "all electronic equipment off" rule prior to take-off or landing under which a digital camera or cell phone device would fall under. Even still, seems totally out of line to threaten a 10 year old with arrest.
Isnt Direct-TV an electronic device yet Jetblue has it running during takeoff and landing. :wink:
Direct TV is an aircraft-installed system, and given FAA regulations, I image it has thoroughly tested and certified for use. From your smiley, I assume you were kidding, but I guess if you could show that your cell phone, or MP3 player had been tested and certified by the FAA, I suppose you could make a case for using them during takeoff and landing.Quote:
