>>>Ever had the delight of feeling 3000 PSI hydraulic pressure stopping the aircraft within an eyeblink? <<<
Well yes (without the implied drama) I have during my 30 years, but I've never seen a passenger injured nor any aeroplane burst into flames in the last 10 yards of coming on stand which is when people start to unstrap. My view remains that it's no different to public transport by bus or tube and we should stop hectoring the customers as if we have some authority and individual accountability provide a decent service.
