Passenger cited for using cell phone on flight

A Dallas man was greeted by police when his Southwest flight arrived at Love Field on Monday after he refused to end a cell phone conversation during the flight from Austin. Southwest spokesperson Brandy King told the Dallas Morning News that “after multiple requests, the flight attendants were not successful in getting the passenger to get off the phone.” The jerk man, whose name was not released, was cited for disorderly conduct by the police. Unlike our European friends, it is still illegal to operate cell phones during commercial flights in the US. Airlines can even face a fine of up to $25,000 if cell phone usage is permitted according to Ms. King. Hopefully this will be a lesson to annoying d-bags everywhere who think they are so important.
