Oh, so you expect cabin staff to be there with a checklist, and comparing the battery in the notebook with the list of faulty models? As if they don't have enough to do.

It may sound like an over-reaction on Virgin's part to ban all Apple or Dell notebooks until further notice from their aircraft, but imagine the alternative. I would rather abstain from using my Apple -- with the new battery safely installed or no -- than have a fire on board. But then, I never fly Virgin anyway :)
