From the same people that still believe the majority of us do not know how to fasten our seat belts, now comes the news that certain use of electronic devices will be allowed during takeoffs and landings.
For the longest time, the experts who run the FAA believed that anything that has "an on/off switch" must be turned off. Never mind that there is no scientific evidence that the "On" devices have no impact on flight operations, and the fact that a significant percentage of travelers either forget to turn their devices off or simply put them in "Airplane mode". The best part about this potential new rule is that passengers will have one less instruction to listen to before takeoff. FAA must have finally concluded that with tens of millions of devices that remained on during takeoffs and landings, and the even larger number of devices that are on within proximity of gates and runways, airplanes managed to take off, fly and land safely without a single incident. While mobile phone conversations should continue to be prohibited, all other uses should be allowed. www.premieretravel.com
