Is this "All pax must stay seated because we are on an active taxiway..." nonsense an FAA, or NTSB thing? Or just a company thing, or a Flight Attendant thing?

After we get off the airplane, we can get on a Greyhound bus, not wear our seatbelt, and even get up to go pee, all while whistling down I95 at 70mph, in traffic, no seatbelts required.

But you must remain seated when on an airplane which might be moving on a taxiway, at the break neck speed of...11 knots. :eek:

I realize "Common Sense" has never been a requirement of riding in the back of a bus, or an airplane, but why is there no Buss Attendant on Greyhound, to walk down the aisle and tell us how to operate a seatbelt, prior to pushback, and to scream at us to be seated, when we really, really, have to pee? :D

Where is the Standardization from the NTSB?

One Level of Safety and all that...:rolleyes:
