I wonder if that pilot puts his iPhone on airplane mode before taking off.

Since the ballet girl's website, "The Winger" is for real, my strong guess is that they aren't using actors as I originally suspected and that they are finding candidates via their "Share Your iPhone Story" link on the Apple website:

http://www.apple.com/iphone/share/

They get some fun stories, contact the person and throw them in an ad. Such easy casting!

Checked out http://www.myfirsttimetheplay.com/ from the producer Ken and it's legit. He does have to keep tabs with the stories as all of the material he actually gets from people all over the world via his site. The actors have to then present the story as told by the fan, if not they are not doing their job. It's not the best commercial out there, I actually dislike this new campaign but I wouldn't go out and call him a liar without knowing what was behind it all.

Re: Mike's comments about calling someone a liar:

I think there's an unfortunate typo in the post. You wouldn't write that someone "lies how" something works; you'd write that he "lies about how" it works. You would, however write that he "likes how" it lets him do things. Can we get a ruling from Mr. Moren on this?

Consider me embarrassed. As Morty points out above, the post was a typo, and was supposed to read "likes" not "lies." Oh, the difference a "K" can make. I've corrected it; thanks for pointing it out!

Nice to know pilots the reason there are so many weather related flight delays are because not all pilots have iphones. Makes me want to go out and buy one so the next time I am stuck on a plane, I can run to the cockpit with my iphone to save the day.
