Put down the phone and step away from the plane (Winging It)

Put down the phone and step away from the plane

This story should warm the hearts of those of you who commented on whether cell phone calls should be allowed in flight. Southwest had police arrest a man for disorderly conduct after flight attendants said he wouldn't stop talking on his phone. Too bad it's only a misdemeanor. Read more here.

Probably talking to a customer telling him he will be late for a very important meeting. SORRY

And this would happen a hundred times a day, except it would be altercations between passengers if they allowed cell phone use.

And YHS, if the SW flight was late, it was probably only because they had to put distance between themselves and the US Air jet dropping parts. SORRY!
