I am writing this e-mail for the first time to inquire "Fasten seat belt
during belt sign off" policy.
Japan AIrlines has already apopted " Fasten seatbelt while seated "policy by
announcing "The seatbelt sign is now off,but we recommend that you keep your
seat belt fastened while you are in your seat as precaution against sudden
turbulence" and putting a label saying "Fasten seatbelt while seated" on the
seat back.
ATA News release dated 4/14/98 said that member airlines were expected to
implement the new practice on fasten seat belt practice on belt sign off by
June 1,1998.
It is very pleased that we could have information on the subjelt , eapecially
detail practices adopted by some airlines.
