[QUOTE="baggss, post: 1197379, member: 6762"] United does the same thing now. I simply ignore them. They are worried about interference with the flight control systems but Airplane Mode disables the radio set in the phone that could cause interference. The FAA has concluded that other electronic devices pose no threat to the operation of the aircraft but they have yet to lift the ban. Apparently they believe, and probably rightfully so, that the hardware would become a physical safety issue were things to awry during take off or landing so the warnings appear to be more physical safety related than electrical. Making you turn it off means you are not going to use it and therefore it is less likely to be a safety hazard. [/QUOTE]
