| WTF Is So Important????????? This always amazes me. WTF is so important that you just have to call or be connected to. Isn't it enough two people are trying to get 150,000 pounds of machine in the air? Your life is so jam packed that you can't wait to work on your Excel sheet? It isn't enough that you are packed in with 100 other morons at 35,000 feet traveling at 500+ miles per hour? As mentioned above, most people don't know how to disable the wireless card. It would be best if everyone just kept that crap tucked away. Sit back, relax, and stop believing your life can't wait. Be happy the 2000 pounds of electronics are keeping you alive.
Or, be a prick and turn on all your gear to keep yourself occupied. Just don't sit next to me.

And perhaps we shouldn't watch in-flight movies, read magazines, or eat food on the plane, seeing as those are for our personal enjoyment as well. | | |

Watching an In-Flight Movie, Eating Food or reading a Magazine doesn't require annoying you fellow passengers (unless you're a messy eater).
Mobile Phones need to stay off planes because of the annoyance factor. If WiFi devices were allowed (safety or not), then Mobile Phone users would cry foul because it would debunk the whole Safety theory.
I'm just so glad I have an excuse not to talk to my annoying boss for a few hours when I'm flying. | |

None of those would ever have a chance to interfere with the planes navigational system. In flight movies are delivered through an engineered system in the plane. The electronics have been designed into the entire package and have known effects. I'm not against personal enjoyment during air travel. I just feel this should be weighed against the lives of a couple hundred people. Your life versus my spreadsheet.... my work can wait.
