Not my phone. Usually my iPad or laptop though

I don’t fly

Have not flown for many years

Last time I flew not everyone had a phone, including me. Well last time I flew commercially that is.

Yes, but only so that my phone isn’t searching for a signal the whole time, thereby draining the battery.

I don't fly

Here’s a very good safety video about cellphones and airplanes. youtu.be/JYAq-7sOzXQ

Not because of any ridiculous debunked regulatory concern. But simply because my battery lasts longer on airplane mode.

Yes. You can’t get a signal and the battery goes dead fast because it’s searching continuously. But it’s fun to airdrop memes to unwitting people in the cabin😂

Almost always, but sometimes I just power it off before boarding instead.

No, I manually turn the Wifi and 4G off.

I like to leave the browser open on ISIS recruitment sites.

Saves your battery and charges faster in AP mode

Yes, of course.

I just turn it off...

@Breck

I turn it off completely

Always. That’s the rule!

Yes, to preserve battery life.

Yes, I’m a rule follower. I just use it for music on the plane, anyway.

Yeah, unless I'm flying myself in a light aircraft under visual flight rules. There's no rules against texting and flying.

Yes. To save battery because I’m not going to be using it for anything but music. Plus, plummeting back to earth is the method of death that I fear the most. I pretty much do what they tell me too even though I know it won’t make a difference.

Yes because if not your pilot is getting annoyed at the static noise your phone is causing him to hear on his headset. I don’t like upsetting the people flying my plane.

Yes

I have an active interest in the plan avionics not being disrupted. Plus, my phone drains battery by trying to stay in contact with a cell tower.

I haven’t flown in about 30 years. It was for a middle school trip to DC.

You are retarded if you don’t. It saves you so much battery power.

Every time.

I turn my phone off.

Yes or I turn it off. There's no signal and I may as well save the battery.

I've never actually flown anywhere.

I don’t fly!!!!!

I typically just turn it off.

If there was any serious threat of electronics or cell signals interfering with avionics: 1)no electronic devices would be allowed on airplanes and b) thousands of planes would have crashed by now.

It saves battery and there’s no reception anyway.
