I remember when you could make credit card calls on planes (before 911) and it was a pain in the ass to hear some self important asshole talk the entire flight with everyone and anyone about mostly inconsequential BS just so they can hear them-self talk......this would be the single worst thing that could happen to flying if the FAA actually let's this happen IMHO. :bangmyhead:
