Funny, I don't remember seeing a phone in the flight deck.

I'll have a good ol look around tomorrow.

Well, that probably depends on the airline/aircraft, is sure possible to
have it installed as an option.


Nah. Nobody dos that on airliners. We have several methods of geting
messages to/from already, primarily ACARS.

Several Business aircraft have them, mostly Iridium/Sat phone.



I doubt anyone has them n the cockpit, though.

Well, cannot say about other aircraft, but all Global Express have a
Iridium/Sat phone in the cockpit, is installed in the aft part of the
center pedestal, it is standard equipment and has a separate number from
the ones in the cabin.
