It will be there forever since it got stuck as a “offline” button. People go offline for many reasons and they look for a “plane” icon.
Since when did you see/use a diskette or a dot matrix printer? You use their icons.
I disagree. I don’t see the point of having my phone waste battery searching for a cell signal. Airplane mode saves your battery.
I could just turn my phone off entirely but then I can’t listen to music.
For me it has nothing to do with aircraft safety.
I use it at home. Preserves battery.
Believe it or not Vodafone will charge you for air and sea usage quite a lot. So be careful if you use them.
Last flight I was on had a no electronics at all rule
A person was told they couldn’t have their kindle out during the flight
Name and shame the airline.
I fly a lot for work, internationally most of the time. Haven’t seen this in many years.
fucking hell, I’d think about leaving because having to survive the rabid child always behind me, that guy over there coughing the entire flight, that lady next to me who immediately started snoring, and the bi hourly “buy our perfume” plane wide adnnouncements would be hell without headphones
