Story of a Dreamer Pilot-Summer 2015
Most people think planes will fall out of the sky if Their phones are switched on - while this is not true, the real reason is still significant
"If say 50 people on board are inconsiderate enough who can’t be bothered to switch their [mobile phone] off, there will be 50 phones constantly looking for cell towers at maximum power. That is a lot of radio pollution.
"It is common courtesy. By switching your phone to airplane mode you show your appreciation to the people doing their job to get you where you want to be."
Apparently it's fairly rare, as the pilot added: "I hear it maybe once or twice a month, and I fly about 50 flights every month."
