I ignored her persistent requests to turn off electronics. I double-checked what Sky Magazine says about phones in case she rolled down to me during takeoff.

Does SkyWest have other clients that require electronics to be turned off and she maybe wasn't used to working Delta Connection flights that allow airplane mode? I didn't notice anyone talking on their phones and she never said anything about phones being in airplane mode. I can only infer that she wanted all electronics turned off, not just in airplane mode.
