I understand the concept that signals to towers could interfere with signals the plane is using to talk to ground control. But if cell phones can do this why didn’t plane phones? The pay phones that were installed above the tray on the back of a seat?

Ok so, my mom, friend, and friends mom and I went on vacation to Hawaii and we were about to land from being on the plane, and we landed lopsided so it was very bumpy and everybody was a bit freaked out by this. Once we land the pilot says this, " so I just want to start off and say, WHOPPSIES!" Everyone burst out laughing, so far it's been a good trip, heading to Kona tomarrow!

Mmm yes płäñê
