Sensitivity: Personal
Yoshiyuki,
As a pilot at a cargo operator I can honestly say we have no problems
with passengers not observing our fasten seat belt policy! It is
interesting to note however, that in 1980 the FAA adopted a regulation
requiring a sign in front of each passenger seat that reads "Fasten Seat
Belt While Seated." The same regulation also states that passengers are
required to keep their seat belts fastened whenever the seat belt sign
is illuminated. Unfortunately, passengers don't always have the same
respect for Federal Aviation Regulations as the carriers. FYI, the FAR
mentioned above is printed below. Good luck.

Subject: "Fasten Seatbelt during beltsign off"
Dear Gentlemen
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.
