..An ATA Airlines flight attendant tried to get a passengerto turn off his iPhone because, well, cell phones are not allowed to be used in flight and he was watching a movie on his iPhone. The passenger, who we know as Casey, tried to explain to the flight attendant that the iPhone was in Airplane mode. The passenger was briefly detained in Hawaii
(PopWireless: The point behind this article is that our airlines may be way behind the times. Their training and experience with new wireless devices like the iPhone may not be as sophisticated as yours - the iPhone owner. “Airplane Mode” meant absolutely nothing to this flight attendant and as a result the customer/passenger was embarrassed and inconvenienced for no good reason. We strongly suggest that if you have a wireless device that has an “airplane mode” that you make arrangements ahead of time to use it. When or if you are challenged using the device on the plane do not argue with the attendant. Take their name off their name tag and report them to management upon arrival at your destination.)
Yowtch! We had known before that the iPhone would have the GSM buzz - that annoying “dit-dit-dit-BZZ” effect in speakers that all GSM phones have - but we hadn’t thought it would be this bad.
