Galley Gossip: Cell phones on the airplane {Gadling}

May 28th 2009 11:51AM I remember being on a flight where a passanger was being so uncoperative with crew (he was sat at an emergency exit but was refusing to remove his belongings form the floor) that it wasn’t until the attendant threatened to call the captain to come and talk to him and reminded him that he could be fined £2,000 and imprisoned for his actions that he decided to play ball. This was on coming in to land and despite the fact that some other members of the same guys party had nearly prevented take off as they refused to sit down and buckle up. I cannot understand the attitude of these people, the rules are there for a very very good reason yet some people feel above it all. If you don’t want to obey the rules, don’t fly
