Don't be that person

3 weeks ago, on a Riyadh-Mumbai flight, the person behind me took a f*ckin call at 3 in the morning for at least 25 minutes. It definitely worked well for him, but he nearly lost his life, trust me. As SC1: don’t be that person.

I appreciate flights for the exact reason that I’m not reachable for online meetings. Don’t do it.

Tried it on an AA flight to listen in just to see if it was possible. connection was not good enough. not worth it.

if your role in the call isn’t important enough for them to reschedule the call then missing it shouldn’t matter. someone can prob summarize the meeting for you in 2min when you get to where you are going.

I have just to listen in. Worked fine if you’re on the planes with newer satellite WiFi.

Don’t do it

Seriously it’s not a good idea. Change your flight or miss the call

I have a partner who routinely ignores emails or responds to them several weeks later. He has to approve every single document sent to the client or the court, which means you have a physically go to his office to ask him to review something. Half of the time you go to meet with him in person, he’s either on a call or otherwise busy. I find that this basically creates more work and makes meeting deadlines extremely difficult. Is this normal?
