Just to answer a few things here
Sinala...yes interphone silence starts after the cabin secure has been given and end when the aircraft turns off the runway. At this point communication to the flight crew is only via the SCCM and only if something happens that needs their attention.
However, the Cabin Secure is a very important condition for landing in our company (and possibly in all companies I like to believe) and once it was not secure anymore the SCCM felt the flight crew must be informed.
Our Captain was fine with it and she informed us she would not land if the cabin was still not secure in a few minutes' time.
As for
Lembrado......I don't know whether you're crew or not. However my company states ON ALL SAFETY CARDS that it's an offence to disobey crew's safety instructions and to remove safety equipment from the aircraft (life jacket, seatbelts etc.) and
this is stated also on the A.N.O. (air navigation order) - maybe something you want to remember in the future when you feel you gotta go two minutes before landing! That pax put his safety, mine and the whole aircraft's in danger and just to reassure you, NO, it wasn't an urgent thing. He only needed to pee and did so allover the floor as well as it was quite rough!!
Even if he had been sick, we carry a huge amount of sick bags, unless it's a life-threatening situation I should not even think of getting up from my seat after the SCCM has given the order to take the seats for landing.
So the huge bollocking was right and hopefully taught him something.
If I cannot say anything about safety issues on board, what am I there for???????????
