Reacting to your posts is getting be a habit,
Lord Toad.
Doubtful - a lot of the troglodytes that are passengers pay no attention to any announcements or warnings - warnings and announcements are for other people and most passengers ignore them*
It's not the cretin who refuses to do up his/her seat belt who concerns me, bit the poor bastard they're likely to land on in a CAT encounter like the one that occurred here. Unfortunately, it's usually the poor sod 'safely' strapped into his or her seat whose neck is injured by the 250 lbs of idiocy that's returning to a 1G status via the roof racks.
I know the
PR weenies would never allow the airlines to stress this point in safety messages. If they did, people sitting around these cretins might be a little - or a lot - more outspoken when they see their neighbour isn't strapped in.
Maybe a nicely constructed, politically correct message along the lines of "Any passenger not obeying the seat belt sign - or the airline's suggestion that seat belts should be loosely fastened whenever you are seated - should ensure they are really well insured, because if your unsecured, dead weight, obviously brain-dead body injures another passenger, the airline will offer all assistance to the injured passenger in their efforts to sue the proverbial arse off you".
