No more airplane mode? EU to allow calls on flights

Not so much calls but emails, text messages, amber alerts, local hysteria about the weather, etc.

Yes I could probably figure out how to selective silence the alerts for these various thing based on time of day and type of message etc. but life is too short for that, I just want one easy way to shut everything up.

I'm starting to think I'm in minority having Wi-Fi, data, Bluetooth, NFC, GPS et cetera turned off while not actively using them...

I have Bluetooth and Location turned off unless I'm using them.

I have do not disturb setup for nighttime hours - if I’m using the phone I’ll see texts but otherwise it won’t go through unless someone is on my approved list or doublecalls
