Whether there's a possibility of interference or not, it is still illegal to use them.
Every so often, we get people on the aircraft that not only use their phones during flight, they also refuse to turn them off when told to and occasionally get abusive to the FAs, which now becomes interfering with the duties of a flight crewmember. What is wrong with people?
How hard is it to get on a friggin airplane, sit there and follow the rules for a few hours?
I am also dreading the day when cell phone use is allowed on the aircraft.
It's not bad enough already, stuck between 2 "customers of size", with the kid behind you kicking the seat, and the guy in front of you reclined so you can count his dandruff flakes, now you get to hear half of all of their cell phone conversations...... I'll sit in the jumpseat.....
Cell phones are incredibly useful tools, but, much like cars or firearms, many people are too stupid to use them responsibly.
