I find that a lot has to do with the regional carrier. For example, G7 actually has a requirement that the FA's go up and down the aisle, reminding folks to put their devices into airplane mode. Kind of annoying. I usually find YX to not really care about much of anything, whether phones, recline seats, seat belts, etc. You never know what you're gonna get, so just go into airplane mode! Who knows, perhaps this person was texting and the FA could see...wasn't there.
