Will keep an eye out when they aired. Btw, yesterday's newspaper reported that Emirates has started to allow its passengers to use mobile phones onboard. But only 5/6 calls are allowed at the same time, and there is a designated silent time to allow the passengers some quiet time. Will have to wait and see if other airlines follow. Kitkat:

For your information, there is a documentary series on either Discovery or Nation Geographic channel called "Air Crash Investigations" which is aired every Tuesday evening on Astro. This program shows how a series of events can eventually lead to an air accident. Very interesting and informative program. Another equally interesting program is called "Seconds from Disaster", also on either of the channels on Astro. This program documents disasters which are caused by a series of events too, mostly due to human mistakes. Sometimes the disasters do include air crashes. Anyway, I guess if they do allow the use of mobile phones on-board, they will have security and preventive measures in place. But perhaps these measures will take one or two accidents to be refined. Watch the two programs I mentioned above, and you will know that it always takes accidents to get authorities to change and refine their airline, and operation practices. Sharon,

Kitkat, I don't suppose it is a case of whether we support it or not, it is rather a case of whether we will be brave enough to fly when ALL airlines decide to allow passengers to use their mobiles onboard.

Deimos Tel`Arin,
