A lot has been said (many negative) about the use of mobile phones onboard an airplane. Emirates solution?
"To minimise nuisance, passengers will be encouraged to switch phones to silent or vibrate mode and cabin crew will ensure that phones are switched to text-only mode during night flights."Okay, so that takes care of the ringing noise. Next?
"The onboard technology will limit the number of calls on a flight at any time to five, the same as for Emirates' existing in-seat phones."
Great. Cross your fingers that you do not have 3 or 5 of those phone-callers within your hearing distance.
I hope they do limit the length of calls and number of calls PER passenger, as well. Otherwise, YOU might be stuck with a seatmate who chooses to while away his time calling every single person in his speed-dial.
Yes, YOU because I will NOT be flying Emirates. Otherwise, air rage may ensue.
