32 January 2014 Calendar Polluting Air Travel When you travel by plane, in addition to air pollution and food pollution, be prepared for noise pollution. Now that those geniuses at the FAA (Federal Aviation Authority) reapproved the use of cellular phones onboard (a practice discontinued in 1991), we face one of the biggest in-air nuisances since smoking was banned on airplanes in the ’90s. In this case, be prepared to sit next to an annoying person constantly chatting on the phone for the six hours it takes to fly from NYC to L.A. (Though it should be noted that lawmakers are currently weighing a banon talking). Naturally, common sense would dictate a compromise in the form of allowing texting only while flying. Rumors swirling about right now include building phone booths on airplanes and the usual “let the marketplace decide,” to rely on passengers’ good etiquette or the ever-present question: What about emergencies (as if texting weren’t good enough)? In Europe, cell phone usage has been allowed onboard since 2008, but some airlines only permit texting.
