You're viewing a single thread.
The people who can decide whether to throw you off the plane are telling you that you have to put it in airplane mode. Seems fucked up that they would be basing that on a myth, but regardless, I want to stay on the plane.
It's because the airline tells them they have to require it, and it's critical not to deviate from policy when it comes to safety. The airline is being told to require it by their governing authority, who updates rules and regulations at the speed of bureaucracy and an air of "but did you die, tho?".
