Let's get real here folks - it frankly doesn't make any difference whether it was a replacement or not; whether he lied or not; whether he abused it or not; whether he used the wrong charger or not - the real issue is that a fire occurred on an airplane (thank god while still on the ground) - and it WAS A NOTE 7! How do the airlines take ANY risk and allow Note 7's on the planes? You can say that is absurd and a knee jerk reaction, but do you want to be corporate counsel and tell the board of Southwest we should err on the side of accommodating Note 7 users vs. the other 150 passengers on the 737?
Really?
An iPhone 6 caught fire on a plane to Hawaii back in March, another iPhone recently caught on fire in a guys back pocket and there are other reports of iPhone's catching on fire as well... you would have to ban all phones as they all contain the problematic component which is the lithium ion battery. I just don't see that happening.
