Hi all.
Absolutely no idea why this hit me today, but on a flight from MAN to LHR this afternoon, and the cabin crew came through to do all the checks on seat belts etc. I was just wondering if anyone had any comments on having a little switch inside each seat belt which would mean the cabin crew could instantly see whether anyone had their seatbelt undone after the light has gone on.
Combined with a sensor in the chair to see if anyone was sitting in it (means the seatbelt wouldn't have to be done up on these seats), it might save a lot of time.
This isn't supposed to be a hugely clever contraption - I can hardly see it costing more than a couple of £ (literally) per seat, and with all the wiring going to individual lights, etc. etc., it's probably feasible.
Then again, I probably have too much time on my hands
