I'm sorry, but I must be missing something here. It does not say you can't bring your laptop onto the flight deck, they are just talking about not using it while in flight. Let's not get too carried away with this. Almost monthly I would get emails from our chief pilot about not reading any materials that are not company related during flight. These usually came out right after a fed was on the plane and saw a copy USA Today in the side chart holder.
This bill will sail through, and it will become law. Big deal, in over 7000 hours of flying the only time I HAD to use a laptop was to look stuff up in one of the several manuals we had on company issued laptops that where part of the aircraft equipment. Not gonna be a lot of sympathy with anybody outside the pilot groups.
Lets just go back to reading the USA Today and working our crossword puzzles.
