Shoulder harness is actually on our in-range checklist (FL180) coming down.
Hard to decide to do something else.
It's on the before takeoff checklist too.
Other airlines I worked for were a bit more "big boy" approach, but whatever.
I do it their way, they pay me and I don't sweat the small stuff.
I think harness until it's clear all is well after takeoff is a reasonable technique. Maybe I'll hold off a bit longer just to be safe.
