There appears to be a cell phone generation gap. Among residents aged 65 and older who were surveyed, about 60 percent opposed cell phone use in flight, while less than a third supported it. For people aged 18 to 34, nearly half supported cell phone use in flight, while a little over a third opposed it.
The U.S. government currently bans passengers from making cell phone calls in-flight.
The European Union is moving to allow it.
