Situation: Very ordinary turbulence
"Hello from the flight deck, we think things are going to smooth out in a few minutes and then I'll turn off the seatbelt sign"
FA's begin drink service. Some ordinary bumps occur.
Head FA: "Flight attendants get the carts out of the aisles...get the carts out of the aisles"
Ordinary bumps end, normal lavatory use ensues, no yelling over the intercoms nor threats of zip ties.
Type specific training kicks in and procedures are followed, flight attendants generally absent.
Shall we at least run the aisles and pass out the cookies? Pour up a bunch of water and pass it out? Noooooooo. That would be cowboy-monkey-improvisation...remember your training...remember your procedures!
Corporate black and white thinking and mindless adherence to the proper procedure, plenty of training emphasizing procedures...to the detriment of fundamentals....
