Happened to me a couple of times. I was once asked to turn off my iPod. I didn't even want to get into it with the air hostess. On Fri, Jul 2, 2010 at 11:25 AM, Chris | Ronell Africa < chris@ronellafrica.com> wrote:
Lol,
Funny thing is that only very rarely do cell phones interfere with flight instrumentation and that would be because of unshielded wiring, so they'd rather ban cell phone use all together. Another funny thing is that most flight attendants (and most captains!) don't know what flight mode is!
Some lady asked, ooh so you can see our flight information on your phone?

They rather you switch off the device entirely..... Another myth being peddled by Airlines? So smartphone manufacturers go to lengths to create a flight mode function but a waste of resources. I'm in Port Elizabeth and my other friends also confirmed the flight mode story. :-)
