Over the ditch in New Zealand we also have laws banning the use of mobile phones onboard a/c its great!!!!!!
I/we advise/remind pax to switch off their phones and advise of legal requirement to do so in our welcome aboard PA. Now and then you spot a pax trying to have a sneaky one (phone call) but thats typical pax behavior.
