nope a bus stays on the ground.

Planes need to get up in the air properly.

I fly united and another airline 4-5 times a year. Both airlines say stay in your assigned seats for take off and until they reach cruse altitude and pilot says its ok to move around.

I’ve seen numerous times people tried to move and were told to go back to assigned seat until they reach cruising.. Even on 1/2 empty flights. They announce on every flight it has to do with weight distribution for take off and climbing. I’d rather do as they say then have people moving around and possibly have some issue.

I wondered (but never asked before) if whatever number of people rushed the front of the plane flight 93 that crashed in PA, could be partly why it crashed as it did, not spread out but pretty much straight into the ground. I mean no disrespect to anyone who tried to save the flight, but I wondered if weight distribution can be a real issue on planes?
