It would also often be a battle with the flight attendants who wanted to be up at 14,000 feet starting the service when you had a forecast for mountain wave and turbulence. I would hold them down until we cleared the Rockies but it created friction. More than once I had flight attendants get up when I told them to stay seated until I called them.
This attitude is real believe it or not. First wave of flight attendant rest doesn’t start until service is done. Getting held down past 10,000 starts to eat into the rest periods. They want to get their service done. It’s a balance.
