Message-ID: <427@hou5f.UUCP> Date: Mon, 1-Oct-84 10:40:58 EDT Article-I.D.: hou5f.427 Posted: Mon Oct 1 10:40:58 1984 Date-Received: Wed, 3-Oct-84 06:00:16 EDT References: <12380@sri-arpa.UUCP> Organization: AT&T Information Systems Laboratories, Holmdel, NJ Lines: 15 United Airlines has decided to IGNORE the requirements of FAR 91.19, and has issued a blanket approval for all portable computer use on all its aircraft. It is interesting to note that although 91.19 requires the airline to test each device for each type of aircraft, United has given an approval that covers computers that are not yet designed, and airliners that have not yet flown! This policy can be found on the last pages of the United magazine that is in all the seat packets of their planes. Kevin Redden (201) 834-4221
