I will not stoop to calling names, even though I agreed with the sentiments.

Suffice to say, do not try that on a European carrier as you willbe in very serious trouble. Try it in absolutely no way on any aircraft that (like the Airbus A320) which has computers operating the flight controls.

I fear that I am one of the people who just get so irritated at listening to other people braying on their phones on trains and other public transport. Aircraft are havens of respite for the likes of me. I suppose that we will now see outbreaks of Phone Rage amongst those for whom the craving is too strong!
