I agree. Cars are just as bad. Too much technological crap that breaks and is too expensive to repair.

I thought phones had to be switched off during flights ?

Not since a while. Officially you should set them in airplane mode at take off and landing; I suspect 99% of the phones are still open anyway.
I'd rather be phishing!

Humans have a built-in sensor for that, known as "thirst". ..and water? Do I look like a plant or a pet?

Okay, I am not flying that often. This was a rubbish rule anyway, so...

Do you really asking us to vote on that (possibly Monday survey ? !) or would you like to decide for yourself?

Well - I don't have such a phone. Perhaps they'll do for that what they do for earphones and give them out to the passengers. Kind of a disposable cell phone. Or maybe even build it into the seat (or was that already mentioned). Someone call it artisanal seating.

A rethorical question, so no answer expected. ..but it does make me curious what the monday-survey would judge :D

No sense holding back. Volunteer for the input of the lounges in judging your animal, vegetable, mineral (or a derived class). Non-rhetorical: what have you got to lose?

Sounds like an excuse they'll give you to install an app on your phone just so they can take a peek at whatever else you've got stored on it. Really, is there any other purpose?

On private planes that is not a requirement and I know of no incidents ever caused by a cellular phone on an airplane. I fly on our corporate planes occasionally and I have seen pilots in the cockpits on their phones. We get no service at altitude so I'm not sure what they were doing.

Well I for one think it is a fantastic idea. Being too large and inflexible to lean down and twist my head far enough so that I can read the bloody fine print or hieroglyphic underneath the button is just not possible for me. I have to stand, turn around and kneel to locate the buttons, retain the configuration, sit down and set the buttons by feel and memory. As a consequence I only ever use the big round button for seat up/down. So you skinny little bugger leave the airline alone so they can give better service to us fat slobs who fly.

Of course, you're not allowed to use your phone on board... :)
