No excuse for the guy's behaviour.
But why are FA's going around enforcing an idiotic rule?
We all know that electronic equipment does NOT affect avaition equipment and this is just absolute nonsense that it does.
To take it a step further Bose noise cancelling headsets also have to be powered off.
I know some of you will say it is electronic equipment--but once again why is a stupid rule enforced.
There is no question this has all gotten carried to extremes.
If a Bose Headset can cause problems than Boeing ought to doing something about it.
The fact is Bose head sets and phones etc do not interfere whatsoever.
