Mobile phone calls will be allowed on planes flying in European airspace
under new European Commission rules.
The decision means that mobiles could be used once a plane has reached an
altitude of 3,000m or more.

I guess that planes won't crash now due to mobile phone
intereference....


Apparently my plane was recently in danger of crashing as it taxied
across the apron at Schiphol. Well, they announced we shouldn't turn our
phones on yet because of the interference they might cause...
