Qantas have had
inflight texting for ages now and I'd much prefer to text a friend for info than some arbitrary service.

Speaking of Quantas, Did you know that
Qantas was formerly an acronym for the Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services.
I found that out yesterday during a heated discussion about the pros and cons of "fly by wire"
Anyway, back to topic....
