Ubuntu 18.04 with Bluetooth and Aerplnane Mode

These "problems" don't stop me working but I am wondering why?
My Thinkpad T580 is connected by cable and the Wi-Fi is turned off. Several times a day when I notice the little icons on the Taskbar I switch off both Bluetooth and Aeroplane mode (which shouldn't change anything with a wired connection?) but they keep coming back. Is there any way to switch them off so permanently whilst retaining the possibility of bringing them back in case I should need to? Garoolgan
