I'm assuming airline pillows are kept stowed in a cabinet somewhere. And are the pillows regulated in anyway? I'd like to see the FAR on that one.Yeah - and the need for everything to be stowed for takeoff and landing might have something to do with these neck pillows (which are not regulated like airline pillows where turbulence/safety is concerned).
You can hold your cell phone or tablet during taxi, takeoff, and landing. It seems strange that a neck pillow is a "safety issue", but a phone/tablet is not. It's very possible to fit the pillow under the seat in front of you, even with a bag there, so it could be "properly stowed", fulfilling FAA requirements.
Not sure what loophole you're referring to that would need closed.With so many people wanting to put all belongings in the overhead bins to avoid baggage fees yet not take up room in small seat area, overhead bins often pass capacity. If it’s all not fitting for take off anymore something has to give and loopholes need to get closed.
