It's not a policy Alaska would announce or advertise I don't think. It's just a change to the policy that we've made as we go forward. I would imagine that the difference you would notice is that the FA's would not ask you to remove your headsets. I know that most of the FA's that I've been with are aware of the new policy and enforce it as we've been told. The only time I say anything to anyone with headphones now is if I see them sitting there obviously switching music on the attached iPod or something like that - if I know they are using the electronic features I will ask them to turn them off until we reach 10,000 feet. I don't go out looking for it though - it really has to jump right out at me, otherwise I don't say anything to anyone that has headphones on.
