Taking it off the table permanently will be a victory for Americans across the country who, like me, value a moment of quiet at 30,000 feet.”

Amen. I can't imagine the number of loud annoying passengers there would be talking on their phones the entire flight.

How about no calls from gate to gate? People's voices are abnormally and unconsciously louder when speaking into a phone.

It's amazing the amount of people who haven't discovered the miracle of texting.
