Long story short: In spite of the fact that the FCC has lifted the ban on cell phone calls during flights, Delta Airlines has stated that they will continue to not allow the use of cell phone calls during flights.

THANK GOD.

♥ Delta Airlines for doing this.

Especially since 90% of the flights I fly on are Delta, this is a massive relief to know that I will be absolved from having to listen to people blab away on their cell phones during the flight, when all I really want to do is read, peck away at my iPad and/or listen to music, without the sound of incessant chatter permeating between the cracks.

Otherwise, I hope this allowing of cell phones on flights blows up in everyone else’s faces. I hope people flying on United or American or Southwest enjoy the socially inconsiderate assholes of the world all whipping out their phones in the middle of their flights to ramble on and on about anything from their first-world problems, mind-numbingly work chatter, or gossip of the most inane and stupid shit on the planet.

I will enjoy the peace and mostly quiet that flying on Delta will continue to afford.
