Thats right, no more talking on your cell phone while waiting for your plane to take off.No more calling from the plane after you land to let whoevers picking you up know youve arrived.Apparently its annoying to them while theyre flying.
As long as were outlawing annoyances Id like to make a few suggestions to add to thier bill.
1- The 350 lb sweaty guy that spills over into your seat throughout the entire flight that smells like old cheese
2-The crazy woman who thinks I actually care about her entire lifes story and tells it to me for 4 freaking hours straight
3-The annoying little brat running up and down the isles in a crap filled diaper splashing his Juicy Juice everywhere he goes while drooling throughout the plane
4-No more delays, no more cancelled flights, I paid good money to get where Im going and be there at a certain time, if the flights late the pilot faces immediate execution upon landing, no excuses
5-The moron who waits untill Im all the way into the winodow seat and then asks if Id mind changing places so he can sit by his wife, child, girlfriend, etc...If you really loved em that much you would have gotten adjoining seats to begin with
6-The waitress who smashes my kneecap in with the refreshment cart during the flight while Im trying to lean away from the fat guys smell
Seriously, cell phones are about the least annoying thing about flying[]
Because we don't have any real problems just a bunch of whiners. It shows Phil Gram was correct.
On a side note, it may have been me in that story. I've been a heavy road warrior for 16+ years last time I counted. When I started, I was a technical trainer and us coworkers would only see each other every few weeks at best. We were a close knit, get the job done but have fun doing it. You can say we lived up to the company motto "We're a beer and pretzel company" (fyi, that will be my new company motto). We had a running joke that basically went like this, don't worry about your wife, I'll take care of her this week. I'm not traveling. You would rather me, a friend do it, then someone you don't know". Any how, I was waiting for a flight and needed to talk with one of my closest coworkers. His wife answered and she was as bad as he was. So we got in and out of this quick hey baby, how ya doing? I miss you. Can't wait to be with you ... It lasted all of 30 seconds before I asked, where's your husband. This gal who was next to me jumped up with her jaw dropped and high tailed it far away from me. When my buddy got on the phone we had the biggest laugh.
Go ahead and make my day with this law. Just like cell bans while driving, I don't care and will use my constitutional right to free speech. No ticket to date. I don't really want to see thme on a flight but I won't banned them. I just want to use my wireless card for the internet but they need to install different antennas to point the signal skyward.Heck, they didn't have a problem with GTE Airphones now did they?Take off and landing there is absolutely not problem. Next you will see no cell phone use in any public place.

RE: Why?
They can't ban cell phones the kids wouldn't have anything to do. A sure sign that I am indeed getting old. I have a cell phone and seldom carry it and all my 12 year old or younger nieces and nephews all have them and use them 7X24. Why would it be necessary for a 10 year old kid to have one"¦.. because all his friends have them.[:@]

The secret to flyingis to drink about 5 double 7&7's before you even get on the plane. If it is a long flight, you then get one or two Jack and Cokeswhen the stewardess comes around with the refreshment cart. Then you just kick back in the seat and sip your drink and grin and nothing will bother you at all.

With all the crap going on with our country why the hell is this even something Congress should be discussing much less trying to pass legislation on?
Apparently congress seems to think that there's really not much other "crap" that is more important. Another sign that the economy really isn't so bad after all!

I despise being near someone who's too rude to keep their voice down while on the phone, I don't care about your weekend plans, your sex life is of no interest to me, and I don't care that your SO is an arsehole. Personally, I find the fact that Congress can't seem to vote on the record for anything anymore far more disturbing, that "voice vote" crap seriously needs to be banned. You're supposed to be representing us, how can we tell if we can't tell how you vote? As far as cell phones? Yesterday I almost got sideswiped by some dumb...well let's just leave it at I almost got nailed by someone yakking about nothing while doing 60 MPH. If it weren't such a common occurance I'd write it off, but it happens to me nearly every day, and they almost always have a phone in hand at the time. Free speech isn't free when it endangers others, pull over or shut the hell up! [:@]

I dont think congress' actions are a good barometer of the health of our economy...
