yes, whatever we're doing until then, we do go much faster once we get there. even if we're faster than 250 due to heavy weight. going faster means lowering the pitch. why are you arguing the obvious? forget it already.

Not to mention the fact that when we ding the belts for the cabin crew to work, its not as if they haul out the carts and start pushing them down the ailse within moments.... there is loads of banging and crashing to go on before that happens...so deck angle doesnt really come into it

And 411A has a hard on for blasting CX at every opportunity, no matter how tenuous An old try hard reliving the dream he never had

I was not arguing I was telling you what happens and asking why ISM's wait. You have lost me now so I will forget it as have no idea what you are talking about.

Cabin Ready??

A bit off thread but I want to know why I hear banging and crashing in the galley after having been advised that the cabin's ready before take-off. I would have thought this was a far more pertinent safety debate than when the drinks get served.

Two things :

1) Suzie, PPRUNE stands for Professional Pilots Rumour NEtwork, nothing about CC in there, hows that for patronising

2) If the tech crew deem it safe to start cabin service, what right do the CC have to override that ? Other than the obvious answer of turbulence.
Some pax, especially J and F, pay a lot of money to be sitting there, and rightly or wrongly, don't want to wait that extra 5-10 mins for their feed and drink.

I think what most pax and slf want is some degree of consistency. those pax who understand what the cycling is for will just be a bit confused. i can't imaging the flight crew cycling the belts just as they are heading innto heavy wx!
but no matter what you pay or where you sit, to be worried about getting your drink fix a few mins early is a bit lame, exp on a 15 hour flight!

now the comment about the dude in the health video, well that made me laugh! agree!!
