    All I can say to the ignorant few is, by all means ignore advice and do your own thing. Just don't expect to be able to sue the airline for your own negligence.

    Just goes to show that a bit of commonsense is missing in all cultures.

    The article states that the plane was circling, and thus it is obvious that it is due to land. Thus, passengers should be in their seats with seatbelts fastened.

    Did you have a successful day with the lawyers yesterday? Do you need a Boomed thread? Is there a 'news' section on the SKA homepage where I can read all about it?
