As SLF, whatever the rights and wrongs of this incident, what about the pilot who used his mobile to report the incident?
There are threads galore on this forum about using mobiles on a plane. Passengers are (rightly) removed from aircraft for doing so.
And yet here is someone who should know better who is quite blatantly breaking the rules. Why should pax not use mobiles if pilots can?
I hate mobiles and have never used one on, or near, a plane. But the actions of this guy surely undermine the argument that they can be dangerous on a plane.
