Mobile Phones on Planes

Do you realise how headwrecking this is going to be? Imagine being stuck beside some corporate timebomb or ditsy D4 bimbo talking on their mobile for a three hour flight? Somebody stop the madness!

Dave!

Doh! Yeah that will be annoying.

Was stuck on a train in Italy for about 5 hours with some gimp who thought that was the best time to learn how to use his new phone.

Yes, that DID involve choosing his ringtone.

*shudder*

It's just as well nobody pays attention to comreg...

ceidefields

Well the whole thing got quashed in the US because of the annoyance factor...

Fingers crossed. Air rage would go out of control.

HELLO?! HELLO?! YEAH! I'M ON THE PLANE...I SAID PLANE! CAN YOU HEAR ME?!
So many cases of 'air rage'... Prison would be worth it.

Oh what a bloody nightmare.... I would do time to ensure that mobiles cannot be used on planes..... Its annoying enough when they start beeping as the plane is landing.....

Brilliant, everyone with the same Nokia ringtone. I'll do a Dom Joly!

Or people who spend the whole flight trying out their ringtones as per most intercity Bus Eireann trips these days :mad:
If they started Crazy Frog they'd better hope there's an Air Marshal on board to protect them from air rage.

Edit: That's if you're using their own mobiles or mobiles the staff gave them. Not sure

Ryanair + onboard mobile access = new circle of hell

Karate chop the phone from their hands and proceed to use the touch of death on them. Simple as that.

I think it's great. I'm usually completely bored on a plane and this will help quell that somewhat. When i'm not on the phone i'll put the earphones in and listen to music.

Ha, i can listen to music on my phone without having to turn the phone bit on. Wonders of technology. If it'd make tea too i'd probably have sex with it.

Repeatedly.

Groan, planes are the last public place not to be disturbed by mobile phone chatter

Texting & data usage would be great on planes.

As for calls, I'll opt for the "no talking" section of the plane each time
