While the interference from one mobile device might be negligible, the combined interference from several devices could potentially disrupt the airplane's communication and navigation systems. This is more of a concern during critical phases of flight, like takeoff and landing. Notice I said potentially. It is unlikely to occur, but since 70+% of all aviation accidents occur during takeoff and landing, they use an abundance of caution.
Is there any evidence of this ever actually happening?
I really hope to not be part of that statistic you’re begging for to find out and I hope that shouldn’t be necessary to argue with an airline. I’m happy to just switch to airplane mode and get on with life as a living person. It’s literally just a button on your phone. And it’s just courtesy. Maybe you’re addicted to the internet and have social issues when it comes to basic courtesy so maybe find help for that.
Oh fuck off.
No. You go if you don’t like it.
I concur.
Fuck all the way off.
Sanctimonious prick.
Ditto. Fuck yourself all the way up a mountain and down the other side. Then strangle yourself with your own anus.
