Mind you this thinking has also stuffed many things. Classic example in industry X (I won’t name them to protect the guilty) <BR>
“If there’s any problem just call ABC – aka CEO/Head of Operations – here’s their mobile. They really want to know”. Guess what that would be your first and last conversation in the industry. Sad but true as the butt lickers would knife you. Ie your call might head off XZY so the butt lickers would say there was never a problem as knowing happened.<BR>
<BR>
Just my 2 cents worth. Oh and pilots always get the blame if things go pear shaped and they can’t pin it on anything else:-( Actually they usually blame the pilot(s) first then look for other causes.<BR>

I can just see some new F-call amateur taking his 10W HT on the plane and keying up every repeater for 100KM - heavens knows what this does to ACARS/ILS if there's any unintended sidebands/harmonics, especially if they're keying up on VHF.<BR>

"Based on testing that has been conducted, Boeing and Honeywell have concluded that actual EMI levels experienced during normal operation of typical passenger Wi-Fi systems would not cause any blanking of the Phase 3 DU. This issue does not exist with the Phase 1 or 2 DU's."<BR>
<BR>
Boeing don't want to get sued if an airplane goes down - this reads more like a combination of a) typical regulatory testing to extremes and b) problems with one particular model of one particular display, which aren't really in any sort of danger, but government are (rightly, IMHO) playing it safe.<BR>
