I just received word from American Airlines that I have been denied flying with my PDM. Since it's considered a wireless device it must be turned off below 10,000 feet. It is not an approved medical device according to their Medical Clearance staff. I mentioned that I can't run this device off since it has no on/off switch.

I am at the mercy of this department to get approval on a 'rush' basis in order to fly on Friday. If not, I will be denied onboard entry to the airplane.

Thoughts?
