Only approved electronic devices allowed in the cockpit?

This is all a knee jerk reaction to one very unusual incident. As far as I know, the final results are not in from the investigation regarding whether or not they were actually on their laptops or something else ...and we may never actually know.

You are right to point out that there are already appropriate procedures in place and that professionals will not notice any difference. My experience as an international pilot tells me that this one just slipped through the cracks.

As a rule, pilots are professionals. We pride ourselves not only on safety but also on the smoothness of the flight and landing. It makes my day when someone compliments me on a nice, smooth landing.
