Seatbelts from pax pov

@Beausoleil--absolutely right. I always have my seatbelt on when seated, and I get annoyed when the Seatbelts sign is left on for ages with no apparent reason, and the cabin crew up. I assume it's sometimes for kya legal reasons. @HarryMann--try not taking a leak Auckland-Los Angeles, or even Auckland-Hong Kong. There's a real problem in the advice given to pax: on the one hand, move around to avoid DVT; on the other, seat belts on at all times. To avoid dehydration, consume lots of fluids, but keep seat belts on at all times. So the sensible passenger keeps their belt fastened, but has to take a leak occasionally. So in any unexpected turbulence, there will always be a chance of a few injuries. So may the skygods remember that some of their passengers are actually quite intelligent, but may have bad luck. Less contempt, please.
