Heard a story about an AA CP who was so p.o.ed about someone ahead of him taxiing in to DFW too slow that he whipped out his cell and called to find out who it was. Heard he got slammed for that by the Feds, too.

Seems a good CRM question to ask would be,"captain answers cellphone and starts having conversation during taxi out at X (let's say JFK just to make it more accurate) what do you do FO?"

That should be the CRM interview question - "you're flying with a senior mgt pilot and he starts yacking on his phone while taxiing. What you do????"

This. My second-to-last trip as an Embraer Captain I had a 4-leg turn with a brand-new, 26 year old guy. Sharp, good airman, couldn't stop talking about his girlfriend. After the last landing in BOS we are sitting in that no-man's land on M between 33L and 4L at Q... Tower clears us to cross after a landing SAAB and no response on the radio, look right and he's on the phone. I apologize to tower for the missed call and tell the little snot we aren't going anywhere till he gets his tail off the phone. Needless to say the cockpit door was closed during deplaning and the debrief was, lively shall we say.... Un-effing believable. And before you young guys get all butt-hurt, I'm aware that older dudes in the left seat have also been guilty....

As a psyche grad my question is, "is being on the phone (everywhere) so ubiquitous now that it's considered normal," or, "is this just renegade behavior?" Don't know. Not just us. Train operators, nuclear power, etc. Had a repo in a van from JFK to EWR and the driver never put down his phone (1 hour 30 minutes). Non stop talking. Not a hands free phone.
I'm not anti phone. I wrote a piece and did road shows for the NBAA on managing vigilance, complacency, boredom, and distraction in which I argued - with data to back it up - that pilots should be allowed to use phones during certain segments outside of sterile. Not a popular opinion with FAA/NTSB.

Watch the reactions of the group starting about 1+00 to 1+30 to see how people feel about their phones now-a-days.
Is it any wonder that they can't keep their eyes/hands/minds off of them?
