Surely Tech Ops can crank out production of these high tech devices faster than the rouge LCP bandit can steal them!

I also just flew a leg where both 717 flight plan holders were missing and were written up in the aircraft logbook. Maintenance listed them as NEF (non-essential furnishings) to be replaced within a certain time period.
For what it's worth.

Delta decided to change them for something more durable, non-flammable and classy.
It took about 3 years for the FAA to approve, but it is becoming a distant memory. Many new pilots now think that p/work holders are a part of an amazing and thoughtful Airbus design.
