"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard CletusAir flight 353 with non-stop service to Mos Eisley."

"Please return your seatbacks and tray tables to their upright position, fasten your seatbelts, turn off and stow all portable electronic devices, or put them in airplane mode for the duration of the flight."

Eh... Why airplane mode?
