Rules arent meant to be broken
Hey, am back to do some blogging as i have enough time now :D
I was just thinking what are rules for, why are they framed and why are they being implemented. Definitely, it must be of some good to humanity.
Recently , on one of my flights as per the usual practice, the flight stewards had announced in 3 languages(including tamil) on what to do and what not to do on the flights. It was pretty obvious that all passengers were supposed to switch off their mobile phones. But the guy next to me wasnt even bothered about the announcements. He was on the phone with his kith and kin bidding good bye. Just as the flight was about to start, he stopped talking on the phone. After a few hours, as the flight was preparing to land, this guy saw that we are nearing the destination and took out his mobile phone and was frantically trying to make a call.
I thought he was just playing a prank but to my horror he kept on trying for a few minutes. I had to be a little rude to him and asked him to keep the phone off and told him that calls arent allowed in flights. Immediately, like a small child after being scolded by the teacher, he put his phone in his pocket.
Later , i realised that it was his first flight ever!! He was supposed to catch another flight on transit and he was having no idea. I felt bad for being rude to him and helped him with instructions to board his next flight.
A thought flashed across my mind, what if it had been bad weather and what if the mobile phone signal had intervened with the communication systems of the aircraft. Grrrrrrrrr!!!
