Actor Paul Rudd sparks a debate about airline etiquette after saying airplane mode is “nonsense” during an appearance on Jake Shane’s “Therapuss” podcast. Both outlets report that Rudd makes the remark in the context of in-flight behavior and challenges what some passengers consider standard rules. The discussion also expands beyond airplane mode. Rudd defends passengers who stand up immediately after the plane lands, a habit that commonly divides travelers who prefer staying seated until instructed versus those who move right away upon arrival. The reports characterize the comments as humorous and highlight that they have prompted disagreement among listeners and frequent flyers. While the two articles focus on different parts of his rant—airplane mode in one and the stance-on-landing behavior in the other—they both present the same core idea: Rudd’s remarks on passenger conduct are generating attention and discussion among the public regarding norms during flights.
