Re:Boeing right's a wrong: The flight attendant button on Thursday June 23, 2011 @05:20AM (#2687241)
I have always wondered why it doesn't work like this: Press the button once to call. Press it again to cancel the call (if it was pressed by mistake).

With a firmware update, this solution can even be retro-fitted to existing planes.
