September 24, 2008, 11:46am (report abuse)Anyone here been on a long flight sitting next to some morron who is on their cell phone or laptop entertaining an arguement with someone on the other end at 30,000 feet? Or they are playing a game or movie on their laptop so LOUD even the flight controllers at your destination can hear them??
There has to be a designated area on a aircraft for electronic device usage and a reasonable decible level maintained for the provision of peace and quiet for those who wish to sleep or rest quietly. But until then....press END!!!

The decible level of the engines is the one I would like to lower.
You should read the bill...it still allows phones, they just have to be wired to the seat. This Bill is as ridiculous and self serving as the bridge to no-where Bill...
