Of course, if you decide that you're going to discount all the reports of problems on the basis that they're only apocryphal stories, and also discount the research which demonstrates how mobiles can cause the problems reported, then I suspect you'll be waiting a long time.

In fact, if there really is a problem with mobiles, I suspect that the first "documented case" may well be the subject of a big AAIB report.

I hope there isn't a problem with them, and I hope that there is never such a report. But I always thought that air safety wasn't about waiting for someone to suffer a real problem before taking any action.
