  Brace position - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One occasion where some passengers were asleep on an aircraft that was about to collide with trees, one passenger awoke and adopted the procedure, where he was the only survivor[1].
All passengers aboard Scandinavian Airlines Flight 751, which crashed, survived due to adoption of the brace position[2].
In the 1989 Boeing 737-400 Kegworth air disaster crash, the pilot was able to announce, "Prepare for crash landing" 10 seconds before impact; the resulting injuries-- from both those who did and did not adopt the brace position-- would later be studied to provide further research on this topic (see "Further Reading" below).

Flight schedules are subject to change without notice, and you don't want to get caught 15 minutes for a flight that was moved up by half an hour.
A flight that leaves early in the morning (before 8 am) often uses an airplane that was at the airport the previous night, and so is already prepped and ready to go.
A flight that leaves in the afternoon uses an airplane that started its day in another city, and hence is more likely to suffer from delays (especially if it was delayed on one of its previous flight segments).

But the Flight Safety Foundation's Rozelle is adamant in the other direction.
When the airlines tightened up their policies in the early 1990s, "A lot of pilots thought if they had snow on their wings, that snow would be blown off as they roar down the runway.
