Flight Attendant Explains Airplane Mode

Recently a flight attendant revealed to business insider that hardly anyone puts their phones into airplane mode when flying. Betty, who spoke under a pseudonym, stated, “Nobody turns off their phones. I don’t, even… All of those commands are really just precautionary.... I guess at some point, something had to have happened for them to have made the rule. I mean, I push it. I don’t always wear my seatbelt.
