Finally. Can't wait for this to percolate MT @nickbilton FAA nears change in rule for gadgets during taxi & takeoff http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/23/technology/faa-nears-new-rules-on-devices.html …
@alexroupakia besides, airline-provided wifi/calls making a comeback, by pop demand. I'd be content to read & listen to music on my tablet

@asteris There's no solid proof that electronic devices interfere with the controls, however there's no solid evidence against it either -
@alexroupakia science doesn't work that way. No solid proof of hypotheses against a slew of things not banned during flight. Yet. -
@asteris until you prove a hypothesis is not correct do you really want to take the risk? -
@alexroupakia that's exactly what I mean by superstition. Maybe I shouldn't carry anything with the number 13 on me. Or sneeze on my lap. -
@asteris Hypotheses doesn't necessarily mean superstition. -
@alexroupakia unproven hypotheses made policy constitute superstitious policy. Read Bilton's coverage, please, this is going in circles -
@asteris It is rather patronising assuming I have not read the article. I have just happened to read other sources too. -
@alexroupakia as you will. No point in discussing it, you're set on your rationale which mirrors standing airline policy, no explanation

@asteris You would, but you'd be amazed how many people refuse to follow simple safety instructions -
@alexroupakia please read Bilton's coverage. There's the post-9/11 FAA/TSA side, and there's the common sense flight mode gadgeting side
