    Commercial plane crashes are so unlikely: I’d happily take whatever the increase in risk is to not have safety briefings 😂

    but also, airplane mode isn’t for the plane, it’s for the cell phone towers… leaving your phone on non-airplane mode once in the air is basically ddosing all the towers in the area… so yeah you should use airplane mode unless there’s a good reason not to such as a plane hijack… it’ll also save you some phone battery…

      Wrong on all counts.

      You have no clue how little some people fly, and some may only fly a few times in a lifetime. The safety briefing is for them, not jaded geniuses that don’t count the seat rows to the nearest emergency exit.

        that’s not what I’m saying, I’m saying even if you’ve never flown before your dying need the safety briefing because it’s so unlikely 😂

        Then it should be fine for the people who have heard the briefing dozens of times to keep playing on their phone.
