Thanks for posting that info Iceman.

I wonder what the 'fix' will be for a cockpit tablet fire?

Also, I'll bet that missing Malaysian 777 had some lithium batteries in the cargo, but we'll never hear about it. Better for them to simply blame rogue pilots than admit they had a fire hazard on board.

Some how, you know that is just what happened. Ref: UPS 747.

I think this article (and many others) already addressed that.
