There is a reason why many airline pilots emphasise to use the seatbelt whenever you are seated, and this is just another example.KellyVanRijn
There is a reason the captain tells you to not walk about the cabin and leave you seatbelt fastened at all times.Cloud999
This is WHY it angers me that parents let their kids run up and down the isles, climb about and generally misbehave. Everyone should remain in their seats wth the SEATBELTS FASTNED. The seatbelts sign is only off to allow you bathroom access. I'm crew and I've seen so many injured because of this. With this type of turbulence (clear air) it's likely there will be serious injury if your not strapped in. Parents.....take note.Arriviste
I don't understand this, it's baffling. I have flown many times and the flight deck are well aware of any approaching turbulence, and even if it is just a precaution passengers will be told to fasten their seat belts - cabin crew will check that has taken place. What on earth went wrong here.ArrivisteReply toArriviste
Thank you, I didn't know about that. Hopefully there will be a thorough investigation in order to determine if it was CAT or a breakdown in communication between cockpit and cabin. If the former, very bad luck. If the latter - inexcusable. I think the reputation of this particular airline precedes it which could explain the sentiment of some of the responses.nimue1Reply toFREE SPEECH
You don't fly very long distances then? I ask for two reasons; 1), your bladder would have to hod more urine than the average persons' bladder, and 2), for health reasons (to prevent blood clots), you are supposed to walk around the cabin at least once for every hour you are flying - and still do foot, ankle, and leg exercises whilst sitting in your seat - so if you fly to anywhere that is longer than an hour's flight away, you are being very irresponsible to the people and resources that may have to utilised because of your selfish behaviour.EssexGell
Which is why everyone is told to keep their seat belts fastened, even over the top of blankets of any kind!Magic
I don't understand that as soon as the first turbulence started, everybody wasn't told to take their seats and put their seat belts on.Longlivedixie
People are just plain STUPID to not wear the seat belt loosely at all times!!!!!!!
