Airlines must be pretty crazy to think not letting people use their phones is going to decrease air rage
Not having to listen to you talk on the phone while I'm trapped in a seat near you is absolutely going to decrease my air rage.
Sure people talking on the phone can be annoying, but that's not the main thing people use their phones for - scrolling and texting are the ultimate tools for getting people to sit silently for long periods.
Not necessarily - I know plenty of people who talk to their texts. When they receive one, they'll for example go "omg, why did she do that??" as they start typing the reply...happens enough times especially with Americans 30 and under. It's similar how many Americans will talk to the on-screen characters in a movie theater.
