As an avid user of the seatback phones for the last 5 or 6 years, I am always very aware of my volume, even more than when I'm on the ground. It goes double when I'm packed into coach. My assistants can always tell when I'm calling from the plane because I'm practically whispering to keep from annoying my neighbors. On the ground, however, I usually don't have any sort of idea what my volume is.
If this actually happens, I expect that I'll maintain the same manners. If you're flying United, I'll be the guy hunched over with the phone pressed to his ear. I'd rather be reading, but business now moves at the speed of light.
