Many planes now have wifi which means a good amount of people on the flight are on their laptops or phones in "non-airplane" mode. Is there a reason that the FAA believes that's safe, but on planes that don't have that ability it's not safe? Do the planes that are equipped with that have different navigational equipment or something like that?
