    Flights don’t get delayed because someone is standing or unbuckled.

    Edit: to anyone that disagrees, you are wrong. I travel for work and fly all the time. There have been plenty of flights where someone was standing to get something as were taxing. And after the crew has walked by there is literally nothing stopping you from unbuckling. They don’t even stay and stare at you to buckle. It’s just a passing comment.

    If you think otherwise you are wrong. I’m editing this because I don’t need to reply and correct every dumbass that think they know better and have never fucking flown.

      They can be. The cabin crew will communicate to the flight crew when the interior is ready, they won’t takeoff without it, and someone refusing to sit down or buckle up definitely counts as not ready.

      If a passenger gets up and causes a disturbance later, that would also get communicated to the flight crew and, shot of the plane having started its takeoff roll, there’s a good chance everyone is going back to the gate to remove this person.

      They do if the captain is waiting for the final go ahead from the tower. They can’t go anywhere until everything is secure and ready to go.
