Correct me if I'm wrong here, but the use of cellphones on aircraft is not prohibited by FAA regulations, notwithstanding a company's GOM. It is an FCC rule.
True, but remember that my personal experience that once was in the simulator, and I didn't even recognize it for what it (supposedly) was. My sim partner and the instructor each said that someone's cell phone in back must have been going off.
