    Spethial people who cannot follow instructions

    there should be more of this - cnuts think they are spethial , make them walk

    can't follow instructions , should not be trusted - what happens in an emergency when they can't follow instructions - guaranteed they will be the cnut blocking the aisle trying to get their baggage from the overhead locker.

    Phone on, passenger carted off


    A 54-YEAR-old man who allegedly refused to turn his mobile phone off during a flight out of Sydney has been charged with endangering an aircraft.
    Police say the man boarded a Jetstar flight from Sydney to Queensland's Hervey Bay early today, and then argued with the cabin crew when he refused to switch off his mobile.

    "It's alleged that around 8.30am (AEST) the man became abusive towards a flight attendant after his mobile phone was confiscated," police said in a statement.

    At Hervey Bay airport police were waiting for the man. He was arrested after he disembarked from the plane and taken into custody.

    The man has been charged with an offence against Section 22 of the Crimes Aviation Act, for endangering the safety of an aircraft.

    He is expected to appear in the Hervey Bay Magistrates Court on September 25.

    Most people who fly are idiots and shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a plane. A bit like BF and computers.

    That's the problem with cheap flights.

    Same as cheap fuel. Too many idiots on the streets.

    If phones endanger the aircraft, how then are they able to be bringing in flights that will be able to use them?

    I reckon its all a crock of shit.

    I think the first generation fly by wire Aircraft and older generation mobile phones were thought to be a risk - but can you imagine trying to educate people as to which planes they can and cannot use their fashion accessory on - better just to blanket ban

    I agree baldrick. Radio frequencies are used by both ground control (towers) and cell phones. If there's a chance for one walking over the other, just turn 'em off. It's five fcuking minutes -- you can't live with your phone for another five minutes before we're at altitude and they won't work anyway?

    I've also been on low-level helo and transport planes where the loadmasters, after pushing all the jumpers out, calls up the tilac for a chat and a reservation. Cellphones don't affect the plane's internal coms.

    Rules are rules and should be followed.

    Yes, authorites have suggested that mobile phones can cause everything including brain tumours and may also interfere with navigation equipment and flight control.

    Until they prove differently I will always turn off my mobile phone and expect others around me to do the same and during a flight.

    Well flights in and out of the Middle East must be special indeed; most of them seem to be still talking even as the plane takes off. The hosties either don't care or have just given up. Ban the a**holes from flying, I say!

    Image the people with cell phone jammers clicking away while the cell phone callers are calling. A war would break out on the plane.


    This is not the first cellphone jammer on the market and won't be the last, but this $166 model is small enough to discreetly carry anywhere. It's powerful enough for personal use, slam-dunking GSM calls within about a 30-foot radius. That might be just the range of earshot in a movie theater, unless there's yelling involved. But there usually is. Don't get caught, this can't be legal.

    Some dumb twats here will cry out loud for passenger rights.

    We can only hope they die in fiery crashes at the end of a runway somewhere, exercising their rights as free and liberated citizens. Unfortunately, they'll take another 200 law-abiding passengers with them.

    If mobile phones are so dangerous for planes why are some airlines enabling them or plan to do so soon?

    Would you like to be stuck on a plane with several hundred Thais who are allowed to use their phones ?

    Can't see that a mobile phone would actually endanger the plane, but also can't be sure it wouldn't under extraordinary conditions, which makes it easier and safer to switch the fcuker off.

    Btw, doesn't say if he actually made or received any calls, or simply invoked his right to be an asshole.

    Nope, it's called rule of law. Obey or suffer the consequences. Foreign concept to many.

    Especially the Chinese.

    Been on a plane when they start dragging their bags out of the overhead compartments and when the plane is taxiing and after landing. Dropping heavy bags on other passengers heads and they really don't give a fcuk.

    Should be at least fined and that goes for people who don't isolate their mobile phones and during a flight.

    But the real reason youre asked to switch off your phone is that from 35,000 feet, it will broadcast to a couple hundred cells on the ground, and all of them will attempt to register your phone with headquarters. In other words, its the phone operators who find it a problem.

    I do too, not because it makes sense, but because I'm afraid of the uniformed thugs with the guns.

    30 feet is not far enough !

    No thank you please ! That's the real reason for banning them and it certainly is not just the Thais.

    It was on an episode of Mithbusters and they basically proved that it has no effect on aircraft navigation at all. In the end they had to call it plausable because of the millions of different components on planes that they couldn't test.

    Either that or the aircraft industry gave them a load of dosh!

    I still wouldn't enjoy being sat on a plane with mobiles going off all over the place though.
