any carrier within range can still potentially track you, maybe not with airplane mode but Snowden says don't trust that
GPS still "works" without any signal, service or net access
AGPS mandate forces 911 calls to reveal your location

For max privacy without going completely analog you'd want a device with NO cellular radio at all

You have way too much time of doing nothing of significance and fill it with meaningless chatter. Spend more expanding job skills and still listening to so many inexperienced opinions.
