Am I the only one that thinks it odd that BA no longer insist on 'window blinds open' as part of their pre-departure and pre-landing safety announcement (unless they have re-instated it very recently).
It isn't mandatory to include this as part of the briefing, but it is considered by most Safety Regulators to be good practice, and most other airlines I've flown on recently still include it, and are quite insistent that all window blinds are fully open for take off and landing. As an airline that has had more than one incident involving a cabin evacuation with a fire outside the aircraft, I'd have thought it would be prudent to re-instate it.
Apologies if they have done so. I haven't flown with BA for quite a few months, but took several flights with them after the Las Vegas incident and was struck by the fact that it no longer formed part of the safety briefing.
