As far as I can recall from bits and pieces of news stories at the time was that policy dictated that only ONE pilot had to be fully harnessed at all times....obviously accuracy would be questionable here, as mentioned these were TV news reports.... and I do believe that an FA had to hold on to the Captains ankles for some time. There was actually some pretty gruesome footage of the AC taxiing upon landing where there was a trail of windswept blood leading back from the cockpit window, due to the captains head banging violently against the AC....requiring numerous stitches and he received a nasty case of frost bite....
