Salut PR !

Well I must say the best safety demonstrations video I've ever seen is by far the CityBird one. Very funny, cristal clear, it really keeps the PAX focused for a few minutes (quite a performance). In this video, a long-hair blond guy is sitting next to a big fellow & tries to comply with safety procedures the best he can. Even after seeing it several times, I still found it both useful & entertaining.

As cabin crew member, when you perform these demonstrations (I've done that for 5 years & quite enjoyed it I must say), PAX reaction depends a lot on YOU. If you seem bored, they won't care & won't pay attention. But if you manage to do it in an unusual way, they'll get interested.

As an example, in one of my former airlines (EBA), we had a gay guy who really wanted the world to know that he was gay (speech, walk, general behaviour, etc)... & his safety demonstrations were so funny, made in such a "gay" way, that every single PAX was watching . Much more efficient than any video.
