Just because the seatbelt sign is off doesn't mean you can't wear it.

They tell you to keep it on loosely for a reason.

Definite 'E' Ticket ride. Disneyland always required seatbelts on those.

I have never experienced that much turbulence and don't want to. But you have to appreciate the structure of the airplanes and the manufacturing process. What actions do pilots take when they encounter turbulence like this episode? Slow airspeed, increase airspeed, fly level, look for better altitude?

First thing is to slow!!!

THRUSTT is generally right. Shoot for turbulence penetration speed- gives best protection from Stall and Mach Buffet- usually involves slowing a bit. If the airspeed is bouncing around too much to be useful, check LRC Power Setting. Be cautious about slowing in the descent or speeding up in climb- you might be delaying getting out of the layer of bumps. A/P either off or in basic Attitude Hold- no Altitude hold, VNav or LNav. A/T off, set power manually. Trim sparingly, if at all. Go with the Flow! Don't fight to hold track, altitude, or Airspeed. That part of the world has some of the worst tropopause related turbulence I have ever seen- do your own thing- stay below the trope until you are light enough to climb well above it, whatever- not a bad idea to leave the Seat Belt Sign on til Level Off. Just my thoughts- yours?

The AA 777 involved in the AA280 incident was Tail: N751AN Ship: 7BK if anyone wants to track the aircraft on FlightAware, or is a fleet geek like me.

It is not a force or direction, but you get an announcement from the FA that the belt light is off, but that if you are seated to keep it loose and buckled. Direction or suggestion?

This CAT must have been a bear though. CBS this morning said the hit a winter storm and were in this mess about 45 minutes. Seem like a long time but they came up with video from somewhere.
