Hundreds of pilots and their fans have been harassing the reporter who wrote the story with vitriolic comments and, at times, threats of violence. (qz.com) עוד...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]

I watched the video of the alleged journalist from Quartz being interviewed on national television. It's funny how seemingly nobody in the media has made mention that his eyeblink and vocal patterns were indicative of someone of someone lying his "donkey" off.
Hello
I sincerely hope that any pilot who tries to No-Fly-List the author of that article loses his license. You expect Nazi-like behavior from the TSA at the airport, but not from the pilots.
I'm a licensed professional (not a pilot) and I would file this collective reaction as improper in appearance, if not improper in fact (at least in certain individual cases).
Personally I think he went overboard in dealing with something he is not remotely qualified to deal with. He is a wannabe journalist looking for stories to make him (in)famous. The FAA should be pursuing those issues if they feel that safety was compromised.In any event the prohibition of the use of electronic devices by cockpit crew above 10,000 feet was only in force after April 14 this year.
