I appreciate SLF topic but I was expecting crew comment on OfCom clearing the way for pax use of mobile phones above 3,000m
1. In-flight problem -100+ amateur reporters reporting live to media
2. Rapid depressurisation dive - reach for phone or O2 mask
3. Will the No Smoking light become the No Mobile light
I suppose some Lo-Co's will charge extra for using mobile phones or provision of 'quiet' seats
If interference not a problem I would accept pax SMS or Internet connection for pax cabin but please ban mobile voice communications during flight.
Will flight crew be allowed hands-free or mobiles banned off-stand?
