Barbiegirl, I second that!!

I used to get annoyed when people would spring up out of their seats still coming off the runway. Even three PAs wouldnt get the message over!!! - of course it doesnt apply to them does it??

Would they stand up in a car at 60 mph?? 40? 20? Even buses and trains have someting to hold onto, what does an aircraft have other than another passengers head?!!

Times in the past Ive risked my safety and walked down the cabin on taxy asked people to refasten their seatbelts or sit down. Once I even dived to catch a bottle of vodka falling out of an overhead bin as someone had stood up and opened the bin. Do they think theyd get off the aircraft quicker if they got all their stuff ready? They still have to wait for the people in front of them to get their stuff, then theres customs, baggage reclaim..... what is the point??

Rant over!
