Air travelers, rejoice. You probably won’t have to deal with noisy cell phone calls from fellow passengers anytime soon. The U.S. Department of Transportation is signaling that it will likely keep the ban on cell phone calls on planes in place, even though the Federal Communications Commission voted to allow a rule change. The Wall Street Journal says Transportation Department officials have been inundated with complaints about the potential rule change from passengers and the airline industry.
