NOOOO!

I don’t need to explain why! I’ll simply show you the comments of OTHER people who have already explained it quite well.

davidb says:
It is already extraordinarily annoying having to listen to those selfish, self-absorbed people who talk until the second the door is closed (and often thereafter until the flight attendant threatens removal) prattle on at a decibel level intended to ensure that anyone within earshot can hear their travails; imagine listening to the same individuals blithely continue their claptrap at the expense of those around them, heedless and uncaring, reveling in callous disregard of others as they pursue their small-minded, supercilious conversations. If these people truly were so important that they actually needed to use their cell phone on an airline flight, they’d have their own jet. Otherwise, I define them for what they are: selfish poseurs who need a life more than a portable. Keep cells off of US commercial flights!!!

Hope that othere carriers will not permit this piece of folly. People usually talk louder when they use a cell phone and to endure some inane converstion for the duration of flight ..no matter how long.. is inexcusable.NO CELL PHONE CALLS IN FLIGHT..thanks

Sure, let people use cell phones on planes. But also give fellow passengers the right, if someone is making a non-life-and-death call, to pound them in the face with their own cell phones til their stupid ears bleed. That seems fair.

Luckily for me, I dont have to travel much. In fact I dont even have to be around many people at all, even while working. People suck!If I were on a flight and some self absorbed idiot was disterbing me with constant jabber, I would be the guy who made national headline for JAMBING THE FRIGGIN THING UP THEIR YING-YANG!

Sing Sing SingI plan on singing very loud in the direction of anyone talking on the phone. If they have the right to talk, I have the right to sing and my voice is aweful and will be much more annoying than they are.

Not only is this insane, it is and will be unsafe. As a flight attendant passengers EXPECT us to police the cabin for their safety and comfort. I just had a lady onboard insist that I wake an International First Class traveling passenger because she felt he snored too loud while sleeping on a 14 hour flight. Another passenger demanded I force the man next to him to put his shoes on and now cell phones?! This is mad and so unsafe. We have all seen those rude cell phone users who speak loud, laugh and carry on as if the world was only theirs. I highly doubt the Emirates flight crews are Union giving them a choice, but this will hinder their flight staff’s ability to maintain control in the cabin not to mention keep us all safe in the air. Oh yes,all nighters across the country that people choose to fly so as to sleep before their early morning meetings, should be an interesting combat zone. We sure hope this doesn’t come our way in the states otherwise their will be a new term ” cell phone air rage”.

And that’s just a quick bit, I’m not one for cell phones, I enjoy flying (well, when there aren’t screaming babies on the flight) and it can be so nice and quiet, yeah the occasional buzz of someone with their iPod up too loud and the occasional squeal of a baby, but other than that it’s peaceful, an excuse to just relax and read and live life (oh and sleep :D )but seriously, I will BOYCOTT flying if they decide to allow cell phone calls, I mean seriously, what can’t wait a few hours? If it’s a total international flight that takes 15 hour SUCK IT UP! I had to going to Japan and Chile and only god knows how long those flights were. First you have the idiots talking on their cell in a resturant, then you’ve got those idiots talking of their cell while driving and NOW we’re gonna have those idiots who are talking so much they don’t realize that you need them to move in order to get to the bathroom, or simply to get up and walk (people who take international flights know what I’m talking about here) this Cell Phone Talking on Planes will probably be like Snakes on Planes, stupid, annoying, and a big joke XP N-O M-E-G-U-S-T-A
