How do you use, or should i say, misuse it?
In the US, they keep it on if there is a rumour of turbulence. In Europe some carriers keep the sign on from takeoff to TOC, then from TOD to landing. In Australia i was paxing between Brisbane and Cairns, the aircraft moved up and down a little bit, sign came on for the next hour and a half. I actually forgot about the sign until i had to visit the loo, then one of the CA`s reminded me.
Do we undermine the publics respect for the sign by overusing it?
Are we scared of being sued?
Does your company book tell you to use it everytime there is a slight chanse of turbulence?
