Cell phones should be switched off on boarding. Not only on safety grounds but also for the convenience of other pax. Who enjoys sitting next to someone who is engaged in a cellphone call? Bloody inconsiderate!
22nd March SQ from KL-Singapore (Forgot the flight no.) With about 3 miles to touchdown, on the ILS, hanging out there over the bay with full flaps and wheels down, seat 48K`s handphone rings and he starts a conversation! Finally switched it off only after pax next to him shouts at him.
Is there really any chance to enforce the handphone ban?
