Khalil El Dahr allegedly became enraged on a Jetblue flight from Boston to San Juan, Puerto Rico because he couldn’t use his cellphone to make a call. Anyone who has flown since cell phones became a thing know that you can’t make calls on flights and have to put your phones in “airplane” mode. Apparently, Khalil El Dahr didn’t think the rules applied to him.
