Should Cell Phones Be Allowed on Airplanes?

Ummm.... I can say a big HELL YESH! how am I supposed to tell my gurls Ima on ma way ta amsterdam?!?!? lol

Cell phones are NEVER a threat in any way to a flight. Airlines a while ago installed AT&T; phones on every seat to rip-off customers a $1+/minute to use them. That is the only reason they disallowed cell phones. People talk planes all the time - it is not disallowed - so how could talking on a cell phone be any different than talking to the person next to you. There is so much plane noise, it would be difficult to overhear a conversation! On the "interference of flight nonsense" - think about it! How could talking on a phone in a plane be any more of a problem than the 1000s of people OUTSIDE the plane in the airport. Proximity to the aircraft is another smokescreen. When we leave the gate the difference in proximity is nill!

Who gives a "flying" fuck?

Cell phones are a proven deterrant to sky jackings. Remember 9/11?

Leave it to the airlines to decide. Personally I do not want to listen to someone chatting away in an enclosed area like a plane. Most people on cell phones tend to speak louder then when they have a normal conversation. It's rude.

Cell - Phones Should not be allowed anywhere

Absolutely not!! Phones have not been a problem. Why suddenly ban something that mostly everybody has? And really, how many people with cell phones ride on a plane everyday? Thats a big rule to make and it would anger many people. This would be a stupid rule..

Cmon lets be serious!Who wants to sit next to someone who is one the phone the whole flight!
Maybe on a larger plane they could have a area for phones!For the most part I say NO

What did they ban it or something? But people do need to talk with each other to keep theirselves entertained or when their about to be in a plane crash, they could call the police or something about it, then it would be on the news! xD

Of course not, now days a cell phone can be easily made into a gun or used as a bomb.

People with cell phones are harming themselves with Microwaves - I don't want my safety compromised by someone who is not responsible for my health. They harm the environment - kill all cell phones.

Wow man......

As long as they are turned off when supposed to be I see nothing wrong with it. As long as it doesnt interfere with the flight operations sure.

i guess,
what if like Sept. 11 happend again, and who would tell this story

Gsus, I don;t even like the guy next to me playing his iPod at loud levels. Last thing I need is hearing some idiot yap.

Flying is already completely miserable. You're packed into this nasty, cramped space.

Yeah, lets make it a little worse. That's all I need.

Well they ARE a danger to the flight though which is more annoying that people don't just turn their damn phones off.

As long as they're turned off, I don't care.

I have heard that cell phones do have the ability to interfere with some flight equipment. As to how true this is i have no clue. But as long as it doesn't mess with any on board systems why not? The only downside is you're eventually going yo be sitting next to some douche bag who is on his cellphone all the time. But if you're flying transatlantic flights i wouldn't worry too much. Your cellphone wont work once you're about ten miles past the coastline.

I think it should be allowed. It's very useful.

lol i really dont care bcuz i dont fly AT ALL i likez the ground

What if there's an emergency? Or you HAVE to tell someone something that's urgent?
Plus texting shouldnt bug anyone, as long as its on vibrate.
I'm cool with it as long as the pilot isnt texting x]
I dont see how they're dangerous on a plane? Does it interfer or something?

its annoying to be trapped in a space with someone yapping on their fone the hole time.... but texting shud be okay...

I have no problems with people using their cell phones as long as they are quiet talkers... Theres so many people that think they need to scream or talk loudly.. This drives me crazy...

It is our last bastion of silence and a place to hide from work

Yes they should because someone could have forgotten to tell someone something that was really important and etc.

yes but no, because its not fair to other people on the flight!

If cellphones were allowed on the flight, everyone would have them not just one person. So I don't understand your comment.

Just a control thing

too danger in the world!!!!!!

cell phones DON'T interfer with airplane insturments

I think all cell phones should have airplane mode

They can not ban cell phones from airplanes. How would I have my cell phone when I get where I'm going?

I'm not reallt sure on how to answer this one buddy. haha. but, i;m gonna say they should be.

And cell phone shown to be very useful during the 9/11 attack!

IT WOULD BE WONDERFUL. ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE WHO ARE AFRAID OF FLIGHTS. LIKE OF:-)

i don't see anything wrong with it, besides now and days i think they should allow them on airplanes

People already don't know they don't have to yell in public into a cell phone, airplanes (even if they worked on them which they won't--hellllloooo no towers) would just get someone killed.

You don't see black people talking on the cell phone for extended periods of time. That's because the PROUD BLACK MAN is too busy realizing HIS GLORIOUS FUTURE of JUSTICE and EQUALITY!

I don't care as long as the pilot isn't on his
