Seeing as we now have a changed thread......

The Seat Belt Sign is ON as you can see. While we are expecting a smooth flight, however, turbulence up here can NOT be forcast any better than the weather at your house can. There's always a CHANCE for it, just as there's always a chance for rain or snow at your house. There's even a CHANCE for rain in the desert.
This is almost apologetic in tone, it certainly does not demand compliance.
Consider the health warning on the front of a pack of cigarettes, e.g.
"Stopping smoking reduces the risk of fatal heart and lung diseases"
As we know, some people choose to ignore this warning, but there is nothing mealy mouthed about it, how about a similar sign on the seat in front....
"Wearing your safey belt when seated reduces the risk of severe injury", supported by a PA or short video on the effects of turbulence.
Do you think the industry will go for this??
