nerdgirl 0 #1 February 11, 2008 Anyone know when & why it returned? Last Monday night and again on flight up tonight, the captain made the “no one may be out of their seat 30 minutes prior to landing” announcement. The rule was suspended back (once) in July 2005 when Sec of DHS Chertoff announced his (first) re-organization of DHS: TSA press release. Did not hear that once during all of 2007 or single Jan 2008 flight into Washington National. Flight attendant did not have any specific information – indicated they re-started it on landings into DC last Friday. Quick search of TSA website (& Google) did not provide any answers.

quade 4 #2 February 11, 2008 Did he actually say 30 minutes or is it possible it was the standard "below 10,000 feet" rule and you just assumed it was 30 minutes?quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nope, two separate flights into DCA. Two separate pilots. Multiple announcements, including a 10-minute potty warning. VR/Marg p.s. that's why I put “no one may be out of their seat 30 minutes prior to landing” in quotes.
