Still we are not recovered completely from the shock of the Air India Express accident at Mangalore, which costed almost all who travelled in it. Though the exact reason for the accident is not clear yet, one of the suspected reasons is "Some Passanger didn't switch of his / her mobile and that caused the problem in landing signal".
This could be true or not and I am not a techie to explain it to the deepth. But, the pilots and crews are not stupids to announce continously asking us to switch of electronic items, like mobile and laptop. But our people still thinks that they are more genius and comments like "Oh they have no other job except asking us to switch of mobile" and ignore the advices. This behaviour of ignoring advices is more among our INDIANS than any other nationals. They think it is a big shame to obey the words of crews.
Two days before, when I travelled by Emirates airlines from Calicut, I felt both angry and laughing with pity on those show off co-passangers.
The first show off starts with the avoidance of "Fasten your Seat Belt" advice. Only in the flights starting from India (or Asia), the air hostess comes from seat to seat, checking whether everyone had fastened their seat belts. I didn't see this practice when I flew from Europe. I literally laughed when the air hostess yelled with respect at a passanger, "Sir, SIT DOWN please. Should not go for a walk when seat belt sign is ON". Our people still needs a "School going Kid" kind of treatments. Exactly a month ago, the same Emirates (from Dubai to Kochi) got into an air pocket (when was above GOA) and had a sudden attitude fall. People who didn't had their seat belts were thrown in the air and got hit in the roof of the flight. But those who had didn't have any injuries. Hope the rest learnt a lesson on that day.
The second show off is with the mobile phones. Once when they board into the flight, they start giving LIVE commentary to their relatives outside the airport or those at home.
"Oh yes yes. Just now kept my luggage above and going to sit in my seat" and so on and on. The one who already switched off the mobile because of the crews announcement, gets tempted now to show that he too owns a mobile. So switches on again and starts the LIVE commentary of his own. Above all, I felt slapping a man, who exactly switched on his mobile when the flight was about to land and started talking "Yes, yes, going to touch the ground... Yes now touched the ground... When did you reach home from airport? Did the kids cry after I left", etc... The show off is more, if the passanger owns costly mobiles like APPLE or BLACKBERRY.
Oh come on, how much it would cost, if you talk the same matters, after few mins, after the safe landing of the flight or after disembarking the flight?
Don't risk your life and put others too in danger. We have so much dreams to live and enjoy. Don't burn it off with your stupid show offs. Obey rules.
