4. Justification for adhering to flight attendant requests

When a flight attendant asks you to return your seat to its upright position, it’s important to comply without delay. But why is this request so crucial? The primary reason is to ensure the safety and comfort of all passengers, particularly the one seated behind you. During a challenging landing, a reclined seat can pose a risk, potentially causing injury to the passenger behind if they are not properly braced for the landing.
In some cases, flight attendants may need to enforce compliance with their requests, emphasizing the importance of cabin safety protocols. While it might sound extreme, certain airlines have even equipped their flight attendants with tasers as a last resort to maintain order in the cabin. This highlights the seriousness with which airlines approach passenger safety and the need for cooperation during critical phases of flight.
