The mobile phone thing is a case of 'oh that doesn't apply to me!'
Just yesterday I had two pax using their phones on the tarmac, right next to a bloody fuel truck!! Did I go off at them!!!
And the response? Blank stares and the obvious thought going through their brain "but why?"
I'm over trying to say it nicely when they do stupid thigns like that - especially after multiple PA's on board the a/c asking them to keep phones off until WELL INSIDE THE TERMINAL BLDG!!!
KiwiGal, I may just use that legal threat on them next time!!!
Can be a bit embarassing, when, after asking pax to switch off their phone, some contractor happens to wlak by talking on one!!! Red face all round, then again I've found telling off said staff member helps also - the pax see everyone has to go by the rules!!
Dunno if I could be gutsy enough to take a phone off a pax - though I have seen a captain do it once - so think I would just ask them to! lol!!!
