Should airline passengers get to use cell phones in flight?
DOT wants your opinion
While pilots and co-pilots are prohibited from using cell phones and other personal electronic devices (PEDs) inflight, the jury is still out on whether passengers will get to wirelessly chat while en route to their destinations.
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) announced this week that it is seeking public comment on whether it should propose a rule to ban voice communications on passengers’ mobile wireless devices on flights within, to and from the United States.
