Airplane mode hasn't been necessary for nearly 20 years, but the myth persists.
- Airplane mode's persistence stems from outdated concerns about phone interference, despite limited evidence supporting its necessity for safety.
- European flights now allow calls and data with pico-cells ensuring no interference; US flights maintain bans due to air rage concerns.
- FCC's ban on in-flight cell phone use in 1991 persists, fueled by fears of air rage, not technical interference issues.
