Boeing adding cell phone compatibility to some of its airliners by 2013
Could the days of having to turn your cell phone off when flying be nearing an end? Aircraft manufacturer Boeing seem to think so. It's begun the process of outfitting new models of its 747, 777, and 787 airliners with hardware to allow incoming and outgoing calls, with the aim of making them available to airlines by 2013. It even has a kit in the works that will let airlines upgrade existing 787 jumbo jets to support cellular calls. (news.yahoo.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Bad news as far as I'm concerned.....aircraft were the last place to escape the constant noise pollution of people rambling on about nothing.
I will refuse to fly any airline having this feature lest they allow me to carry on board my very own Magnun Super Duper Xtra Power Multiple Target Sling Shot Weapon (won't kill anyone but capable to make the jerk stop breathing). LOL!!!
Boo! Hiss! I'm glad I ALWAYS have earplugs in my carry-on bag in case of crying babies, but they cannot help it....
I agree! Sitting next to some inconsiderate passenger who decides to talk the entire flight would be terrible but it would be great to be able to communicate with someone if needed!
this is crazy and will cause arguements, fights and untold aggravation for flight attendants. Can you imagine what it would be like getting stuck on a flight delayed for 2 hours with all these people yelling into their cell phones and trying to sound important. Boeing should spend its time trying to design a comfortable plane instead.
We dont chose the seats.
You are right. The vast majority of humans who blab into cell phones are not important and totally irrelevant except in their own mind.
