Air Travel with no wifi on board!

Environmental_Acrobat
I believe Allegiant Air is the best air carrier on the market today for only one reason, no wifi on their planes.  I hope they don't get ideas and start making plans on installing wifi on their planes in the near future.  However, I'm sure this carrier gets a lot of requests to equip their planes with wifi and only don't because of cost constraints.  They need another reason, the es community don't appreciate wifi too.

Please show your support & let Air Allegiant Air know not to intall wifi on their airplanes since their about the only major air carrier without wifi on board their planes.

Oh yeah, when flying with Allegiant Air, they request cell phone to stay on "airplane mode" during the whole flight, except when the plane is on the ground & off the run way after a landing.

Of course, wifi, just a drop in the bucket with all the EMF sources at an Airport and airplane.  I believe no wifi on a plane and keeping passengers cell phones on "airplane mode" on flight helps control part of the problem.

Yes, I was going to say, I've traveled on airplanes that didn't have wi-fi, and it was still pretty awful.  It's all the gadgets that people have with them.  The last time I flew, the guy sitting next to me was charging two devices while using two others.  He was literally buried in his own electronics.

I know what you mean about sitting next to someone swimming with too much tech gadgets.  Same story almost everywhere I go now.  Feels good to know there are others that share my view on this forum.
