Electronics allowed or not below 10,000. Delta Y, SWA/AAI N... others?

[JT12345]

So within a week you can use your phones and tablets at Delta below 10k, but not SWA/AAI?

Why?
Because SWA has to create 100 jobs and committees to decide.


Seriously though why is this taking more than a week?

How goes it at other carriers?

That is not how I interpreted the RBF. So where did it say 100 jobs and committees? I thought it was subject to airline approval, and some were ahead of the game, ie Delta.

JetBlue, Delta, United allow gate to gate electronics so far.

 

[XTW]

And American.

 

[ERfly]

US Airways, too.

It will be a minimum of six months before Southwest can search the available applicant pool for a new Vice President of "electronic devices" capable of writing a single sentence memo interpreting the new FAA directive. After that memo is reviewed by the marketing department and a large multi million dollar advertising campaign touting SWA as a leader in electronic device usage is rolled out and another round of market research is done to see how the public is reacting to this new innovation, the plan will be implemented, but not without some small tweak that makes it unique to Southwest.

I give it a year.

Sadly, you're probably pretty close.....

You forgot the requisite sacrifice of one kitten before the new office of "Electronics below ten thousand" is officially opened. All hail Colleen!

Latest RBF says the end of November, but I like my earlier version better.

This is so cute. Howard is becoming cynical.

Will that happen before or after there is a PED Spirit party and Gary dresses up as a cellphone in airplane mode to kick things off?

I've been cynical my entire life, I simply can't discount the fact that I have been treated very well my entire tenure at SWA. Don't knock it until you've tried it.
