Good bit of irony on my post yeah.
But Airplane Mode on Android cuts of Wifi and Cellular Data. So i was basically suggesting the same as you, i just found the feature so aptly named even if my purpose was not to avoid electromagnetic interference (That's why airplane mode was originally created i'd say)
And who says you have no connectivity when airborne, there is a BA long haul pilot using onboard WiFi to tweet while he has his rest period.
