If your question was about functionality. Yes it will work on most flights with good WiFi. If you’re just listening, should be no problem. If you do plan on speaking then yes, you have the aforementioned narc problem.

Don’t. It’s rude

I’ve listened into one, but when I tried to unmute myself to agree with someone, the background noise (just airplane sounds) were apparently crazy loud and the people on the call asked me to mute myself.

Don’t be like that counselor on my flight who’s having performance review discussions for the entire flight

Such a naive question

If had success connecting and listening, but often times my audio doesn’t work so nobody can hear me speaking. That’s a win-win for those on the line, around me on the aircraft, and myself.
