Not necessarily.  That does not mean that other airlines did not use
magnetic trays.  The source for the report I had were far and above any
Internet folklore.  The issue may have been cured since the issue was first
discovered.  If memory serves me correctly, the report I had was done in
1993/4 time frame.  That report says something about "circulating since late
last year" but fails to mention any date.
