Right. Yet the shoulder harnesses in the flight deck apparently are and even give you bad posture?
Wouldn't you agree both arguments sound a bit ... similar?

How tall are you? It may have something to do with it, I think it may be worse for taller pilots because the shoulder straps don’t just go straight over the shoulders they have to go up then back down.
'Cause there are no overhead bins in the cockpit to hit with your head!Guys can wear their harness however they like in accordance with SOP/regulation and their judgement/prerogatives.
Hmmm but you do have the curved ceiling, and possibly lots of switches you could hit. I'd estimate the head clearance is about the same for pilots as for pax.PilotDAR wrote: ↑Sat Jul 13, 2019 6:37 pm'Cause there are no overhead bins in the cockpit to hit with your head!Guys can wear their harness however they like in accordance with SOP/regulation and their judgement/prerogatives.
I can't imagine not wanting to be strapped into the plane, unless there were a need to be out of my seat.
No I am claiming that both pax and pilots did the legal minimum (seatbelt wise) because of comfort, while there was a better option available for both.
Do you use max power / thrust take offs every time? You know you wouldn’t to use a derate which is the min required.digits_ wrote: ↑Sun Jul 14, 2019 6:12 amNo I am claiming that both pax and pilots did the legal minimum (seatbelt wise) because of comfort, while there was a better option available for both.
Both would have worn the extra protection if there was moderate/severe turbulence yet both didn't bother to wear the protection since the turbulence was encountered unexpectedly.
It's about an attitude: do I use everything available or just what is the minimum required?
