I respectfully disagree as I think you are missing the point.......my stance with AA is that I shouldn't have to 'hide' my activity with the PDM from the flight crew for any reason at anytime. It's unfortantely when you get one flight crew member ...
This is true about the iPhone. But having recently flown on American, they want all electronic devices completely off (not just in airplane mode). I had my head phones in and the attendant actually came by and made me power my phone completely off...
I've followed this post with interest. first "Do you notice the term "wireless"? To me knowing this says there is no rvalid eason why they can't approve the use of the Omnipod insulin system as along as they are using this technology already on-bo...
I don't want to necessarily play devil's advocate here, other than to say they don't pass out drinks until they are above 10K ft...which is the rule for electronic devices. Once you can use your CD/mp3 player again, they can use their CC swipers t...
Here is the statement from AA's website on using credit cards for purchases on their flights.
"Onboard flights within the U.S. and between the U.S. and Canada, for in-flight purchases, we accept most major credit or debit cards. Our flight attend...
Well I had my return flight Monday morning from Chicago to Tampa. For the most part it was uneventful but when I arrived at the gate, there was an announcement for myself to come to the desk. I was thinking the worst. Turns out I was flagged as ne...
I just flew on Continental Express from Newark to Indianapolis yesterday. I had no problems at security. Based on your experience, I kept my PDA stashed where it couldn't be seen. I had my CGM (Dexcom) on me. To avoid problems I changed all my ala...
Sorry Marty it is not the FAA but the TSA, TRansportation Security Administration, here is the ADA site link for you:

I have never heard this and am shocked! MY first call would have been to the ADA and the the FAA. The FAA has clearly written instructions/expectations for anyone traveling with diabetes. Pretty good considering they are a government body...
Marty. A couple of things. The pod/ PDM transmits about 3 feet max. It transmits at 13.56 MHz. Well below many frequencies out there. The PDM is technically off untill powered on. You can walk away from the PDM and the pod will continue to functio...
I received a reply from the DOJ who indicated they have forward my complaint onward to AA for their repsonse with a copy to the DOJ and myself. The DOJ will conduct their own investigation upon getting AA's response. Unfortantely, with the feds it...
Well, it was uneventful for the flight to Chicago. I did use my PDM out of sight of the flight crew and no problem. No surprise there. I was not questioned by AA before or during the flight. Of course, officially they deny use but honestly they re...
When I fly I will not say anything and make sure I don't have any reason to beep....Thanks for the heads up. OH, I'm not flying AA.
Wow. I can't believe the problem you are having with American. I flew on them in March to Ireland and didn't have any issues. I bolus twice going to Ireland and coming home for my meals and no one said anything to me. I hope everything worked out ...
Thanks......I did file a complaint with the FAA last night.....
I just want you to know that this is ridiculous and I will be looking into it personally on behalf of all of us. American is the only airline I fly and I've been on four flights with my Omnipod in the last six months... I plan to get to the bottom...

- Hi Marty -
Good luck today. Have you read Jason's tips on Symlin? http://tudiabetes.com/profile/oneless - scroll down to the bottom. There are 3 guides. I copied them in to Word and printed them out. Very helpful. The "literature" is less than helpful.
Thankfully, I have yet to experience any nausea, but then I tend to have a cast iron stomach.
To me, it's all about timing with Symlin. In the past week, since I've been on it, I've been most successful when I've waited about an hour to bolus - and then by half.
