i recently headed to virginia for a military class and noticed some dumb things about plane trips. i've noticed them before... but this latest trip brought them more to the forefront.
1-why do most airlines load from the front to the rear? then when you're in aisle 400 you have to squeeze past everyone who's still loading their 80 pound "carry on" into the overhead compartment. Loading from the rear to the front would work much more efficiently and would maybe help more flights make their takeoff times. i think for fairness, in the case of an accident we should exit in the same order. sorry first class... us nose-bleeds get to exit first.
2-will using a cellphone during takeoff or flight actually do anything harmful to the plane or ground control? according to the FCC and FAA, there isn't any sufficient evidence showing the use WON'T effect ground communication or the plane's instruments so it has kept the ban. i'd try it out you know turn my phone on and order a pizza or something just to see, but who really wants to challenge that. it's not like pop rocks and soda where you're the only one to lose, but in a plane... if that actually effects it... everyone potentially loses.

I hope that we are still one in the thought that plains are awesome.
It turns out that random boarding is the way to go: http://www.maa.org/devlin/devlin_05_06.html
That being said, I say you test the take-off-with-cell-phone-on theory. But bring along a lot of padding. Like maybe a red man suit. People might wonder what you are doing, but I am sure they will let it go. Oh, and you might want a fire extinguisher. I'll stop now.
