Good thread!
Comeflywithme, at our mob we are provided with laminated A4 sized Flight Safety Quick Reference Cards for each type of ac we fly. It's mandatory to take along theses cards on each flight. When in the briefing room, about the first thing we do is have a look at the card to jog memories as to the specifics of the type we're gonna fly. Then it's up to the purser/No1/Lead to conduct a FS briefing.
As Euroboy says, interrogations are not that effective. What I usually do is make each FA ask the person next to her/him a question, and this includes myself. (I specify that no-brainers are not on
) This tends to focus everybody's mind! We also have a signalling box in each briefing room, so we can listen to how the different emergency signals actually sound on the ac we're going to work on.
Iggy, I think what my colleagues are referring to in this thread is the pre-flight safety conditioning carried out by the cabin crew among themselves, not a briefing by the pilots.
Still, your description of the realities of relations between cockpit and cabin crew in your company is harrowing! And as always,, I wonder how it can be allowed, and how this state of affairs impacts on Flight Safety?
Yes, it would be interesting to hear from FA's from your company and to find out how
they look at the whole thing.
May-be you could promote PPRuNe and this forum a bit among your cabin crews, and get them on here and talk to us?
