Outdated Flight Rules

Flying comes with several rules to make sure that an aircraft safely gets to its destination. Flight crews always remind passengers to switch off their electronic gadgets or, at the very least, put them on airplane mode. There are also signs just about everywhere instructing passengers to respect this rule.

Before smart gadgets, people still carried gadgets like typewriters, video cameras, Gameboys, and walkmans with them on flights. It seems like this is one of the older flights that hasn’t updated their earning cards yet. The disclaimer warns against the use of older battery-operated gadgets that are no longer in heavy rotation.
