FAA Institutes New Bans on Laptop and Gadget Batteries on Planes (Switched)

Jan 2nd 2008 8:54PM Robert - I work on flights and need my laptop. Sometimes I must have a spare battery because most flights don't have power outlets available, no matter what configuration. I take an Ipod with me because, like most of my coworkers, I am away from home for several days at a time and like some entertainment. I also like to concentrate while I am working without the yammering tourist or crying baby next to me distracting me from my work. I am away from my family and friends at home for days at a time, crammed into coach waiting on some retard to lose my luggage. I need my cell phone to phone home and my employer requires it. Think about that when you are ranting about us "idiots" who must have access to our "cry baby" gadgets. It isn't about spoiled kids wanting their toys, you moron, it is about the workforce flying all over the world that helps drive this economy and fill the planes that you maintain. Without us, you or the guy next to you doesn't have a job. You're welcome.

Please direct me to any in flight emergency or crash caused by a "runaway" Li-Ion battery and please include references to FAA reports. Also, please detail the repairs you have made due to the menaces. I think you are full of crap and can't provide the info requested.

BTW - "If you have a notion of intelligence and disipline" was typed by the guy who can't spell "repaired" "discipline" and "safety". You're repairing planes? Now THAT is terrifying.

Oh and BTW GM may be a "joke" but it is till the biggest manufacturer in the biz.

Are Silverados and Tahoes a joke?
The Z06?
Trailblazers?
Cadillac CTS, STS and XLR?

I can keep going.


Oh and to the Canadian person who suggested we invest in a "Free" healthcare system, a few things.

1. No such thing as "free" anything.
2. We'll get on that right after we get rid of all those Canadians filling MRI and dialysis clinics in US border cities.
3. And as soon as you get a real military instead of relying on the US for real protection.
4. And the dominant Canadian company which manufactures cars is.....
I love Canada, BTW and find most Canadians to be really nice.
