Remember going on detachment to RAF Wildenrath on a civvy flight from Luton and all the passengers were aircraft fitters of various types, I remember noticing that the cabin crew looked very embarrassed realising that we would know what to do anyway . good detachment though
I’ve done a few ‘exercises’ with the SAS at RAF Brize Norton and RAF Northolt - didn’t dare open my mouth! (not easy lol!) :-
This Air Hostess seems to have got it sorted - Do not watch if you are sensitive (contains some naughty bits)
Great idea! That would certainly wake passengers up!
Last time in Jakarta, 1975(?) flying from Singapore pilot flew over an island causing the plane to increase altitude a lot, only to drop moments later. Drinks dropped… Do they do that still? Fly over a ‘bump’ ? Same thing flying back to Singapore.
After 60 years of flying, YES.
Always listen, life jackets ok if flying over water but hitting water at speed is the same as hitting concrete, parachute would be good too.
Which makes it all remarkable that this US Airways pilot made a successful ditching in the Hudson River after taking off from New York…
He certainly didn’t ‘sully’ his reputation.
Not that I know of, usually flights from Jakarta to Singapore stay to the west or east of the 1000 islands, then curve into Singapore
I always listen and i always give my passengers a departure and arrival briefing.
Now that is what i call a brilliant briefing. Ryanair need to use this when the party poopers climb or fall on board on their way to spain.
Good job Air New Zealand !
That seems rather patronising of the Aeroflot staff.
Sounds like the passengers who were “deplaned” were complete arses and deserved to be kicked off.
Just as an aside, I think the advice to put your own oxygen mask on before trying to help anyone else is pretty good advice for life in general.
Couldn’t agree more Valerie!!
I listen, mainly out of courtesy. I also apologise in a shop if my mobile rings at the till and I need to take the call.
