American Airlines Gets FAA Approval to Use iPad During All Phases of Flight

I'm wondering just how useful this is .. is it really better than whatever they did before? Or is it just a "look at me" stunt.

Anyway, you'll certainly feel more secure with trek-y pads.

Yeah, but will they have to turn them off during take-off and landings?
Of course it will reduce insurance claims for bad backs given the size of the briefcases those guys lug around.

Hmmm...could this be a spoof as a result of Alec Baldwin's recent contretemps aboard an AA flight for refusing to turn off his iPad while the plane was still at the gate but the cabin door closed?

Why worry? They've probably been flying with Windows machines in the cockpit for years.
