    In a recent survey three in four believe mobiles should be restricted to non voice activities when permitted in Aircraft. Not so for Michael O' leary appearently he dosen't care who uses the phone as long as it generates extra revenue for his company. I can see Ryanair having a section at the back reserved at extra cost for those wishing to making voice calls. http://www.siliconrepublic.com/news/news.nv?storyid=single11082

    Personally I would be very much in favour of having mobile phones "Restricted to Non-Voice". One thing I find extremely annoying is how on trains and buses, people SHOUT into their mobiles. For one, I have no interest in the other persons conversation, and secondly, on a long journey having a person shouting into their phone behind you gets quite agrevating... Anyone else find the same?? I think I would be reaching for a parachute on a long haul flight! :D
    Of course I can see the benefits especially for business people and the like, but getting people to comply with a Non-Voice rule is another matter!

    I would put the menace of people shouting into mobiles in par with babies screaming on a plane or any public transport vehicle, they should be made sit at the back :D.
