I think decoy7's point was that if it was on the boarding pass ticket then u could know in advance whether u could use your mobile while boarding etc.
I can also see how it would be easy for some1 to use their mobile after flying with an airline that allows you to while boarding. Personally I always turn it off as even they allow it I don't want the embaressment of my phone going off on the plane.
Also it makes you look very popular when u get off the plane and your mobile goes off with all your missed texts

Well said Fingers.
I work as cabin crew and I always have a problem with peaple and thier mobiles. I cannot understand why peaple have to use thier phone on a plane. They know what thier doing is wrong cause when I
kindly ask them to switch off thier phone all they tell me is "yes, I know".

280 km/h is about the take off speed for something like a 747 and it just gets quicker from there on, average cruising speed is around about 0.8 mach, mach being the speed of sound which varies with temperature, the speed of sound on the international standard day is 1224 km/h (763 mp/h) that's at 14.9 degrees C at sea level, that's the international agreed standard. That's why on a really cold morning you hear the exhaust crackling, that's the exhaust gasses breaking the sound barrier, or small sonic booms. The biggest problem with using your phone on an aircraft is the fact that the ground stations can't handle it, it's moving to fast for them. To be honest I've used my phone while sitting in the pilots seat doing funtional checks, engine runs etc with no real problems, but it does screw things up and is noticeable.
