Usually not very well on airline wifi IME (but maybe that was only because it was transatlantic).
I've used it to Israel as well as other flights overseas, and it was OK.

Which airlines? How recently?

My experience was from a couple of years ago on Delta. Went to E.Y. on an emergency and was trying to coordinate a levaya. I don't think whatsapp had voice calls then, not sure about Google, but I did have a voip app on my phone and couldn't hold a 2 sentence conversation. I was able to text using the voip app.

FA announces to turn phones to airplane mode and this guy is still shouting away.

I can't even imagine being that oblivious to the world around...
I had the same thing and the flight attendants must have come over to him about 5 times before he says I think I need to hang up now. Most obnoxious guy I've ever seen. Totally ignored them and continued the conversation as if no one was standing in front of him telling him to hang up.

Does anyone find that exciting?

For the life of me I can't figure out how anyone could find any excitement in Michael Savage's voice or delivery. Listening to him is a form of torture IMHO.

And while I might agree with him more than I would agree with Ron Kuby, I find Kuby entertaining, thought provoking, and possibly even exciting. 99% of the time if I hear Savage, I just can't move the dial fast enough to get away from his show.
Interesting. If my dial is by mistake on Kubys show I switch it immediately. I can not listen to that guy for half a second and actually enjoy Savage very much.

Do you find Savage "exciting"? How about his voice, content or delivery?

What don't you like about Kuby's show? (I won't say that it's my favorite, but I definitely find him highly intelligent, entertaining, and thought-provoking).

I wouldn't say he's exciting but definitely one of the more entertaining talk show hosts. Kubys show sounds like a bunch of overgrown babies bickering. Almost like the Zyppah commercial on XM that I switch to CNN and rather here them than Jimmy from Zyppah.

He won a raffle and must pick them up in person.
ETA: Should not use the word won as he still has to pay for them.  :)

Damn.
He also got some Kanye West shoes last month that sold for 1.7k but had to go through a broker that charged 20% fee. Still one nice profit.
