His take on electronic devices is ignorant at best. Many of us have seen interference where electronic interference is at least a plausible explanation. Not to mention the fact that the cabin being "prepared" means all your crap (including phone) is stowed to prevent it from becoming a projectile, along with the loss of bandwidth across cell networks which is the purpose behind the FCC's separate and additional prohibition on airborne phone usage.

A "major regional airline" is a regional that fits the DOT definition of a major airline. It seems to me by the description of city pairings, he flies for Skywest. It is a good reminder on why an airline would never allow a pilot like this one to talk to the media. This candid conversation makes us all look very unprofessional.

Wow.. the Huffing-and-puffington Post strikes again. I guess its too bad that the public has to be subject to this torture... maybe someday this "news" organization will actually start to produce anything half worthwhile. In the meantime, I want my 5 minutes back.
