Qantas proceedures are that cabin crew will be seated and service stops
if turbulence is encountered and the seatbelt signs are turned on.
This leads to a reluctance to actually turn the seatbelt signs on.
Most airlines allow the cabin crew to continue service with the seat belt
signs on, the cabin crew are exposed but at least the pax are secured.
Perhaps the mighty red rat should consider their world's safest airline
proceedures in this area.
