You all are going to pilot jail

Some people have too much time at their hands.
 
I guess they missed the part where the captain has the authority to ascertain if the device will cause a disruption . . .

and they also kind of missed the part where many airlines are moving procedures, manuals etc to iPad and tablets to save weight - and if that device can be used - and it has a camera in it - then the device can be used.

I had my ANCIENT Nikon F with me one day about 10 years ago - before I sold it - and was taking photos and the FA comes up and tells me to turn it off, I told her it was not electronic and had no off button. She got confused and told me I could not use electronics and I said 'it . . . is . . . not . . . electronic. It is a mechanical camera."

She walked off mumbling. . . . the guy in the seat next to me said: "You confused her, thats one of those old cameras that use film, right?"

I felt really old. . . .

Don't feel bad, I still use a Cannon A-1. It will operate full manual, no battery at all.
 
I like how they tied the Buffalo Collgan crash to 'distracted pilots' in support of their anti-picture crusade. How many things can we pin on Collgan now? Fatigue, in-experiance, training, sterile cock-pit, and now...using electronic devices. Who knew?

Well most of the people out there think that all flying is equivalent to flying final approach.

It's Colgan and that operation deserves anything that can be pinned on them. They've had a 30+ year history of blatant disregard for aviation safety.
