When your plane is ready to take off that is definitely not the time to chat on the phone, say aviation industry insiders. And the flight attendants have more important things to do than ask you repeatedly to put your phone on flight mode. Apart from making you an annoyance, refusing to comply with instructions can get you deboarded as well.A recent flyer on a SilcharKolkata flight found this the hard way, when he was deboarded for continuing to chat on the phone during take-off. The plane was brought back to the bay from accelerating mode, and the passenger was deboarded, along with the rest of his 10-member group who protested against it. Flight attendants say that this while this particular incident escalated, passengers often disregard rules when they can get away with it.
The safety of passengers is a priority, and if one passenger's behavior puts others at risk, whether it is airline staff or airport staff, they are bound to take action. Disregard for rules is quite common among passengers, especially in cities like Delhi or Mumbai. But even in instances like these when passengers were deboarded for talking on the phone, they are usually issued a warning. In most incidents, no cases are registered.
