I think I'd be more afraid to post another comment here then hit the Call bell if I thought something wasn't right on a flight...but.....

Just an interesting experience today. Flying on a ERJ145 I noticed during taxi that the Seat belt sign wasn't on.

No big deal, but in my mind I'm thinking that it is a checklist item and if that was missed could something else have been missed?

I didn't say a word because it's obviously not critical. Just prior to reaching the Runway I heard the F/A contact the FD and advise them that the seatbelt sign was off. It was quickly put on and off we went.

Still a bit disconcerting in my mind.

I don't have an opinion on whether CC should be involved, etc. as this isn't my "day job". I simply was curious about the scenario.

Thanks for those who provided valuable feedback.
