iiuc, what design wants is the user toggle for airplane mode to stand alone as a reflection of user intent.
And the icons in the top bar to be reflective of the networks connection state.

e.g.
user toggles airplane mode off/on 
- the toggle itself does not change ever until the user changes it
- the icon shows the transition (...) until it disconnects (airplane) or connects (radio bars)
- and in the case of user turning airplane mode off & fails to reconnect, the the radio bars would just show empty after some time is the search is given up

Now, there is a question, do we want to prevent the user from
interacting with the toggle during the transition time ? as i realize
this may be easier to deal with technically  (forcing a response to the
request, and not allowing the client request state to change)

Bug description:
  spawned from efforts in bug 1336715

  because the user's input toggle for airplane mode is both a reflection
  of user intent & the state of the backend....and the backend is
  unfortunately variable & lengthy to change (anywhere from 1 to ~10+
  seconds sometimes) we need to have an intermediate/transition
  state....e.g. toggle to airplane mode on....then animate somehow that
  there's a transition happening, until it either fails/succeeds

  comment from dizzypaty

  Between the user’s action of toggling the airplane switcher on and/or
  off and the backend updating the state, the indicator icon displayed
  on the statusbar should be the following: network-idle.svg
