Relax FoPAA... I didn't mean any "disrespect" towards airline attendants. I honestly did not know whether it was only transmitters that were prohibited or if it went for receivers as well.

I'm perfectly aware that the rules are there for a reason.

But I checked the KLM website it says "anything with an antenna". If you check the Lufthansa website is only mentions transmitters. So I really wanted to know if there were any clear rules before getting another unit. There's no sense in shelling out cash for something I will mainly use when flying if I'm told to switch it off cause it has a built in radio.

That's what I meant when I said "Of course it's all about airline rules". Good reason or not the airline rules is what goes on the plane and I'd never whine about it.... that's why I'm checking into it now before I spend any money.

When I said "uptight flight attendant" it was a joke... take it a such.
