Hey Al- While I certainly agree with your point and the reasoning behind it, wouldn't FIRST simply stating "Please DO NOT throw any materials from your seats" go a long way in extinguishing this practice?
The few people on this thread who have supported the practice start by saying (paraphrasing) "FIRST doesn't tell us not to do it, and they if it mattered to them, they would say so."
So while morally, I completely agree that no one should have to tell you to not do something damaging/silly - I do think a very simple statement would go a very long way. I agree with many people that when we were told to turn off our WiFi, a simple statement of "Stop throwing stuff" would've fit right in.
