It is not about weather it interferes or not but about rules. The airline asks you to turn your electronics and phones off...you turn them off. We as sensible humans need to realize that we may be put out from time to time but we will live thru it. Follow the rules and respect others that are around you. It only makes the world a better place but others will follow in your example. At some point we have to stop being so self centered and start looking at the big picture.

Good reply. There is nothing in the current literature or government studies that support this policy but it doesn't matter. IT IS THEIR PLANE so abey their rules or don't fly on it. Hospitals are no longer requiring cell phones be turned off because there is no clinical based evidence to support the old rules regarding no cell phones in their facilities. I've worked in hospitals for over 25 years and this is the current standard.

Rules ARE rules, but there should be a reason for them.

If they thought the cell phones were bad for the planes, then OK. But, now that it's known they don't, they should take down or modify the rule. Off for takeoffs and landings, for example. Or, OFF for those sensitive older planes Dan keeps reminding us about. But, ON for the new, toughened ones.

Regards
