The agency that operates the New York City area’s three major airports has a message for passengers who don’t turn off their cellphones or tablets before takeoff: Pay up, or see you in court.

The executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey says it’s considering levying fines up to tens of thousands of dollars for behavior that causes flight delays.

GUESS THEY WANT TO DO ANOTHER 911 BY THE GOVT
I really don’t understand this thing about shutting down electronics, they say its because it interferes with the airplane’s communication but there is no such thing. Lets say that it really did interfere, why still allow those planes to fly if its such a risk??? i think its all about conditioning…
it is new pork…we want all your money,even if we have to lie and steal it…one way or another when you leave new pork you will not have any money…wall street will steal it,the cop’s will take it or the gang banger’s will hold you up,new pork is one big rip off and now it’s your phone, the state,city government’s want everything you got to fund THEIR pay check’s and the fed gov. will just print their’s….
I have watched arrogant passengers ignore the stewardess and continue talking. I say ‘good one!’
Just an ignorant question. Does a cellphone being left on pose a danger to an aircraft during takeoff/landing? If not, then this is just another method of extorting money from people who are barely making it.
- Nope they don’t. I am retired flight engineer and I used to keep my mobile phone (we call them that in Europe, not CELL phones) that is for the prison called the USA.
  
  Anyway I kept my on during takeoffs and landings and the whole flight. Also checked many times the signal on take off. I NEVER could get a signal EVER passing thru 4000 feet and that was in Europe in 2002 which at the time had the best mobile phone network on earth. Much better than what the USA had at the time.
- I’m a pilot and often use my cellphone while in the air. Originally the ban was to protect the cellular network. Aircraft systems are designed and certified to NOT let RF intereferre with their operation. Having said that, I must say that if everyone on the plane were talking on their phones, there could be problems, not to mention that everyone would be distracted from receiving proper info from the flight crew.
  
  There really is no reason why everyone could not “disconnect” from using cell service for the duration of the flight, and in close quarters who wants to listen to the person next to you talk crap on a cell phone.
  
  I recently did a survey, counting everyone talking on a cell or texting while driving. I was in a coffee shop next to a busy blvd. A sample of traffic for 30 minutes, (several hundred vehicles) produced a staggering 29% of drivers were on their phones. I think it should be legal to shoot their cars with paint balls so that you will be able to see and avoid them.
  - Here in Europe , most new cars have Bluetooth built into stereo system and a slide in panel for a SIM card. controls on steering wheel.
    
    Or you can buy a sunvisor bluetooth speaker cheap.
  - 150 Euro fine here if caught using mobile phone without a hands free kit in car. (while driving).
    
    The way it should be.
  - my Samsung Galaxy NOTE has Airplane mode as do most smartphones which allow you to use all the functions of the phone EXCEPT it keeps the radio/GPS turned off.
Then they should also pay every passenger 10,000$ if we have to wait on the tarmac more than 15 minutes.
