    The most amusing part is that I highly doubt any staff on a commercial flight is capable of telling if people have actually enabled airplane mode or not. It’s an honor system in a country where half of the people don’t even have the decency to try to mitigate the spread of illness.

      At the end of the day, they just don’t care. If they really wanted to enforce this, there are much more effective solutions.

      It’s not that they don’t try to mitigate the spread of illness, it’s that they blatantly do the opposite.
