[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes.  I once saw a special about it how a lot of 'trying to connect' signals messed with their onboard systems and caused glitching.  Might have changed since then with newer mobile phones, but why take the chance to mess with the airplanes' system?  They ask you to put it in airplane mode on every airline in the world.  Why not do this one easy safety thing?[/quote]

Good lord.  If this was even remotely possible, the airlines would still require you to completely power down your phone.

Some of you are ridiculous.  [/quote]

Why are you entitled not to follow the rules?[/quote]

Because no one enforces them.  That lack of enforcement means that (i) no one cares, and (ii) the real-world consequences of not following them (in other words, somehow interfering with the plane) do not exist.

And to be clear, I never said I don't use airplane mode.  If I remember, I do.  But I often don't, and it doesn't bother me a bit.  I was talking about how ridiculous people are who think there actually could be an impact on the plane.  [/quote]
