Mobile phone calls will be allowed on planes flying in European airspace under new European Commission rules. The decision means that mobiles could be used once a plane has reached an altitude of 3,000m or more. Gerry

Apparently my plane was recently in danger of crashing as it taxied across the apron at Schiphol. Well, they announced we shouldn't turn our phones on yet because of the interference they might cause... -- Roland Perry

That's a risk when the other passengers riot trying to throttle the morons using them on planes.
