Exactly why they should not be changed on the table in the lav.
I would consider the seat to be the safest place for an infant to be changed. I'd rather take the chance of spreading poop on the seat if he slid off the pad than spreading poop and injuring an infant falling from the table during turbulence.
Sorry, safety wins out over salads IMO.
