Also since it's a phenom its liable to go off a runway at any given moment. Even in cruise.

As a phenom driver myself I can vouch for this! Lol.

How many of you unbuckle your seatbelt in a car when you get *close* to your destination?

That just drives me bonkers

Sometimes, just to do the stuntman roll out of the car in the parking lot.

I can tell how the 4-day will go in the first five minutes based on shoulder harness usage.

My "thermometer" for being a "slam clicker" or not?

Unfortunately, some operators have the wording "Seatbelt/Shoulder Harness - Checked L/R" on the checklist that is required to be ran before pushback and start. I think that is where @Autothrust Blue is going with that.

That's how mine is worded.

If you feel the need to dedicate half an hour to complaining about shoulder harnesses, I suggest that you could probably be using that time to study some of the corner cases in your airplane's systems, or your operational environment, or other exigent and unlikely possibilities that you should nonetheless be prepared for.

I have shoulder harnesses as part of my before start checklist, and as part of my descent checklist. I pop them at 10k, put them on after briefing the descent (or sooner if I know I won't be getting up between that point and landing).

Of all the things that matters, does this -actually- matter?

On a tangent, I've noticed that there are lots of people out there who can cite chapter and verse of the work rules, who know all the ins and outs and all the grey areas, who barely remember the most basic parts of the airplane systems, procedures, etc. I know the "professional" part is important to pretty much all of us, but have we really forgotten the "pilot" part?

(I don't exempt myself from this, either. Reading about the guts of PBS is somehow more compelling than reading the ops specs, QRH or reviewing the AOM... but one of these things could save your bacon and that of the (51,78,142,369) people relying on you to keep them safe, while the other might get you that day off you were hoping for.)

It must be a bombadier thing.

I'm a pretty short, so once I put it on after the PDP, I tend to forget about it unless it's a super long leg, like over an hour or something.

I always fasten the 5th strap, though. There's been a couple of accidents where the occupant "submarined" under the lap belt, and I'm pretty sure that would pinch a tender spot.
