I know there are some elements of the demo that 14 CFR requires are completed before milestones (before movement/before operating above 10k feet, etc.) but is there a reason or guidance to wait out the entire demo before doing anything?
No, your data points are purely coincidental.
If it is anticipated to be a short taxi we will relay that information to the purser. They will expedite starting the safety briefing so we don’t have to wait at the end of the runway.
