Hey I value my time on a plane for many reasons:-
a) First and foremost - the lovely crew, some more than others
b) Whole of list of reasons
c) Because I can't be contacted or spend hours surfing for nonsense on the web!
I have a SmartPhone from work, and nothing pleases me more than switching it off when I step onboard the plane.
The interesting debate though comes to Wi-Fi that many laptops have built-in now, and most of the time it is on broadcasting away happily. I switch mine off via Control Panel or via the handy switch if I am using my Toshiba Tablet - in the past though its amazing to see how many ad-hoc P2P WLAN's you cna pickup in UC when you login
Can't remember which Airbus it was, but one has recently been certified as Wi-Fi safe - maybe thats the way forward, Wi-Fi Internet onboard - at which point I will need to make sure they make it so expensive so that I'm not tempted to come here and answer VS questions from the air on a VS plane.
Pix - I've made a few calls before from the plane at $9/minute - just to wish someone happy birthday or some other anniversary - best place to do it is in Economy - the shocked faces when peopel see you making a $9/minute call!
Thanks,
Richard
