Texan arrested for mobile calls on aircraft {Gadling}
May 14th 2008 5:57PM Throw the book at him! My husband was just on a flight to see his mother on life support and when he landed in Seattle he checked his messages (in the airport!) and learned he was too late. I am so tired of pompous people on airplanes ignoring safety rules. Fact: when in the air, the flight crew is in charge! I wish they had gotten a big burly flight marshall to shut him up so that the rest of the passengers could travel in peace.
Plane Answers: When are pilots afraid of turbulence? {Gadling}
May 9th 2008 7:47PM This was the most reassuring email I have ever read. I was recently on a flight from Chicago to Tokyo and the pilot warned us before takeoff that it was going to be choppy for about 45 minutes. No sooner had we taken off than overhead compartment doors flew open and stuff started falling out! I remember thinking why this dumb (and a bunch of unmentionables!) pilot took such a crazy chance...now I feel better. And I apologize for all the names I called him! Thanks!!
