Re: Total Crap
Remember that many planes in service today are over 25 years old. Cell phones, PC's, microwaves and such weren't even thought of back then, so how could the avionics engineers even anticipate the possibility.
Besides, people are downright rude when they talk on cell phones in close areas. I don't give a rats ass about about your delayed meeting and ideas for a new proposal. There's a time and place for everything, save it for then.
If I could get some peoples phone, away from them, it would end up in the little blue ocean in the tiny room at the back of the plane! Nobody NEEDS to be that in-touch or accessible. |

| Boy you are sure right about the irritation there was some lady in line at the supermarket and her cell phone range she would not get out of the way but would get her stuff checked out so we cooled our heals which this witch had her conversation with whom ever.
I can understand a sat-phone messing with nav systems the frequencies they operate on are in the same range as the GPS receivers on a plane.

I think you should only be able to use the cellphone maybe 10 minutes a day. I would hate to be on a flight with some A**hole talking (probably yelling) for the whole flight. My favorite use to be housewives in their sweat pants at a supermarket talking away on the cellphone. What the H*ll could be that important. Think they thought they were cool. LOL. |
