ok - this is very obnoxious. The guy clearly complied with the regulations. As soon as it was pointed out that he cannot use cell phones (even over VoIP), he ended the call "right away". The article further says he 'engaged' the flight attendant in knowing why was it not allowed. Also, seems like the tipping point for the flight attendants was that he 'clicked a picture' of the warning notice. This surely is not illegal.

While flight attendants have the duty to enforce the rules of the airlines, FAA, etc. the passengers have the right to be treated like a human being and not prisoner of war! What was the harm if the passenger inquires (with the intent to understand the rule)? What was the harm done by the passenger taking a picture?

I had already taken a personal decision NEVER to use delta. This just reinforces my decision.
