There is a huge chasm in seatbelt sign use between the most timid Euro carrier captain the most audacious US one ... a phenomenon that cannot be explained away with personality and choices.
And this is why I started this thread - I fly so many carriers globally every month and the difference between UA and others is so obvious and I still haven't seen a single rational explanation - not one! People being sucked out of planes 25 years ago or simply saying they are no different than other U.S. or Chinese carriers isn't an answer - someone tell me why it has to be this way??!!
I think we can all agree based on multiple responses in this thread there is a real difference - someone tell me why....
