I was sitting across the aisle from you and saw the whole thing unfold. To be honest, no harm no foul so you're all good, however I'm just thankful those were the 3G days because with 5G airwaves I'm sure it would have been a faster drop.

The problem with the 5G phones is that they effect the thought waves of the pilots and put them into a deep dive trance. I can't blame them for wearing those tinfoil hats. Modern aviation is not what they taught in flight school.
