Should Phones Be Allowed On Airplanes?
Airbus just got permission from the EASA (the Eurotrash FAA) to allow cellphones on European flights.
Right now, crew can set the devices to silent mode, which amounts to a data-only mode for EV-DO. But the notion of a plane full of yapping business dudes is terrifying, and this doesn’t restrict people from using VoIP. Frankly, the only time I am not blogging or thinking about work is on a plane, so I’m not looking forward this.
What do you think?

as a frequent interstate traveller, I relish the opportunity to sit on the plane in peace and quiet and not be hassled by the phone ringing.
A plane full, or even quarter full of people on the phone would be a nightmare – almost like the days when you could smoke on the plane!
