to the real problem here is that the FAA has NO incentive at all to give the passengers more enjoyment/freedom.

Safety: Yes. Timeliness: Yes. Profesionalism: Yes.Enjoyment: No.So it’s natural that any proposal that does not advance the core mission of the FAA will not get fast forwarded or maybe even considered quickly.

Glad to see them doing this, but it doe s not make sense that they allow pilots to use iPads all through the flight and then claim “but it would take sooooo much testing to allow for passenger use!”
