To save the headaches I guess they just tell you that they should all be turned off.
yeah, when I saw an FA using her blackberry and emailing during flight, I about had a FIT. I told her, do you realize that you are ACTUALLY emailing and receiving email right now during the flight maam? She played dumb, saying she thought it was off, so I asked her, "what do you think that little flashing light means?"
