No cell phones on planes

[314joey]

Why, why, why, we used to fly almost every other week in the winter when we lived at LOTO, not quite as much now because everything is further away (mostly Vegas), but even so, we still travel (fly) 7-8 times a year and it's one of the few times I didn't have to see or hear someone on a friggin' cell phone, like I want to sit next to someone yaking on a phone one foot from my ear for a three hour flight back to St. Louis.

Geez, I hope they don't change this and let this happen, I don't care about the texting crap, but not actually talking, that would be horrible.

Get yourself and your S.O. a good pair of Sony or Koss cans and a splitter to keep in your backpack... Bawling babies, no problemo... Annoying neighbors, no problemo... you can listen to the same movie on your laptop or songs on your IPOD with the spliter... Your kids can play on the IPAD with the sound on, no problemo...

I didn't get the noise canceling type, I just got a quality pair of cans...

Dude, I did 150 flights (i kept track) national and international from 1985 - 1990 out of Ohare... The smoke was soooooooooooooo bad....... You couldnt see the front of the airplane if you were sitting in the back on the international flights.......

I didnt smoke but I may as well ahve... I dont mind being around it at all and go to concerts at small venues where it is a cloud BUT at least there is some air exchange...

The good ole days........

I do and it sucked, I'm not a smoker, it was like being smashed in a tiny bar, it was disgusting.

I was just telling someone about that the other day. Each armrest had a little ashtray built in with a little flip up lid like cars used to have.

Have you ever heard of someone who was diagnosed with lung cancer but never smoked a day in his or her life or you went to a restaurant and came home smelling like smoke. I'm sure glad times have changed...

The texting or using any of the smartphone options wouldn't bother me, it's the talking on the silly phone and having to listen to someone yak for three hours about their sisters hemorrhoids, now that's gross.

Hemorrhoids should never be discussed ...EVER!

I traveled most of my career domestic as well as International accumulating more than 6MM just on American Airlines so I DO remember when you could still smoke on airplanes. I remember sitting upstairs on 747's when it was just a lounge....no seats. I remember hot fudge sundaes in First Class.....I remember a very different world on airplanes than the screaming kids and paying to check bags of today but the worst thing that could possibly happen in my opinion would be to allow talking on telephones during flights....No Fuckin' way!!

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.
