I really hope this is still the case.
As someone's already brought up by mentioning KLM-UK there are plenty of examples where this hasn't been the case.
I think the severe bumps and shakes are pretty universal language for get out of the plane we've crashed and that even the Greeks will realize when it's time to leave the plane. Now only if there weren't such a language barrier when it comes to the Euro and Monetary Policy.
