BTW I had a colleague at BMA LHR in our Traffic Office - lovely guy (sadly I heard he passed on way too soon) and his nickname we gave him was spring heeled jack - why? cos he walked with a lively spring in his step - We all had nick names at BMA, but I am not revealing mine here LOL

Anyways back to the program-
I'm afraid most pax are not 'switched on' - They are sheep and have to guided by Collie dogs - In this case the Collies are good ground staff that have their team together to round up the sheep into the correct pens PDQ -
Folk dont even pay attention to the safety video let alone a 'how to board a plane' video when they but their tickets...Plus how many languages will we need to play it back for? LOL
