If FAs don't bother to put phones in airplane mode, why should pax? Everyone talks about the danger of cell phones to inflight instruments, isn't this a safety concern? Why should I MMOB on a safety issue?

No doubt. 100% positive cellular was on.

If a passenger were in the FAs position and the FA in mine, should she have MHOB and not inform the passenger to turn on airplane mode?

I meant "minding her own business" in the sense that these FAs couldn't even bother to do the 2nd drink service on a flight that usually gets 2. I was awake the entire flight so it's not like I missed it.
