Why do some passengers stand as soon as the plane lands?

@Paul ******

I am not a fooking liberal or politically correct, I was born in a small western NSW mining town over 60 years ago and have been involved with construction and mining ever since travelling the world regularly in my job.

I am simply sharing my many years of travel experience with hipo critical imbeciles like yourselves.

I now live in south east Asia and yes they do tend to get up early, like when the plane has stopped and yes the seat belt light is on, but I still say most caucasians (politically correct whiteish people) do this also.

But it's not the case that all east, middle and western asians get up while the plane is still taxiing into the gate, and yes I have seen this in asian travel but not often in 35 plus years of travelling abroad to all parts of the world. Most of them have not flown in a plane and don't fully understand the process.

Now stick that where the sun don't shine and enjoy the rest of your day.

@Paul ******

you are joking right, it's not particular race, it's people in a particular frame of mind that do this.

And yes I am caucasian and I have done this often from Sydney to Melb and return when working, but not these days.

@Paul ******

Maybe they are more impatient but need to be in such overpopulated countries. In my experience, Most Caucasians, Thais, Laos, & Arabs are just as bad.

@Danny ******

so why thr comment

Unless you only fly with chinese passengers

@Danny ******

obviously never experianced it

@Danny ******

I’m guessing ‘smoke’. 😊

@Danny ******

yeah that's so hard...

@Paul ******

sitting right now with a German national, he insists the only time he's seen Germans clap was on a private charter flight. Austrians and swiss the same, no clapping.

@Paul ******

possibly Russian and Eastern Europeans. As I said initially, it's not common for Western Europeans to clap

@Paul ******

where is Europe?

@Paul ******

never been on a UK flight where people have felt the need to clap. never been on a flight filled predominantly with Western Europeans where they have felt the need to clap. Been on several flights to and from the Philippines where passengers have felt the urge to clap.

As soon as it lands? Before it comes to a stop and the seatbelt sign goes off? Why?
