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?

smart phones....
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.
