Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your Captain speaking. Before taking off, I'd like to remind you of our policy concerning electronic devices. Due to a recent FAA ruling, you will now be allowed to use certain devices during takeoffs and landings.

Each airline is allowed to implement this rule as they see fit and FlyWithUs Airlines will now allow the use of tablets and ereaders. Because of an exclusive arrangement we've made with Amazon, only Kindles will be allowed to be used fee free. The use of other tablets and ereaders will entail a $25 service charge per device. WiFi with ads will be free for all Kindle Fire users and $35 for non-Fire users. An additional $15 fee will eliminate those ads. The flight attendants will be around shortly to collect your fees.

So on behalf of FlyWithUs Airlines and Amazon, I wish you a pleasant flight.
