96% of Note 7's Returned, No More FAA Speeches

[Aquila]

U.S. airlines are no longer required to warn passengers about the Note 7 | Android Central

With Samsung announcing that over 96% of Note 7's have been returned, the FAA feels comfortable that there are no longer people who are ignorant of the recall and the ban on aircraft. Accordingly they will stop the speeches at the beginning of flights. The ban is still in place, we just don't have to b constantly reminded anymore. Welcome news.

Yeah, I am sure Samsung wants to put this all behind and lay the episode to rest.. With the S8 stuff heating up, the last thing they want to deal with is more Note 7 nonsense.

Directly in line with that, now potential S8 customers won't be hearing about the Note 7 non-stop.

Heating up.... Interesting choice of words.

Couldn't pass up an opportunity like that.

I was on 2 flights recently, 10 days ago a 2 days ago, both with WestJet, second largest Canadian carrier. There were connecting flights involved, so I had to board 4 aircraft's. On all 4 flights there were Note 7 announcements. Turn off, don't use, blah, blah.

I was in Germany last week and all 6 of my Air Berlin flights issued the warning.

I was just on a plane this past Friday leaving DFW airport (Dallas) on American Airlines and to my surprise they still issued the same warning before take off.

All the Airlines have to do is read this Forum and see there are still fools out here still running the damned things - why wouldn't you still announce? (Of course, this is my personal opinion - if you want to blow yourself or someone else up, that's totally up to you - now I'm going to get hell for saying this)

Flight I was on last month, they didn't announce the Note 7 info until after the plane was already in the air. On another flight, they announced it during the safety brief and again after takeoff.

Youtube too has many videos and people encouraging the continual use, as well as instructions how to get past the carrier blocks.

I know... it's flippin' insane! It's (almost) like publishing plans to make your own bombs online and encouraging people to do it!

When they have a problem they will be the first to complain
