Hi there
Just came in from my crm initial and we were talking about why people applaud when the plan lands...
The instructor (A330 Capt with a degree in Phsyo whatever
)
told us that becaus nearly 65% of all pax are scared of flying they applaud becaus it is a spontanious reaction to the relive of being back with mother earth...
But this does not happen apon Lufthansa flight because these are people who fly "five times" a day and do not get scared...
If you check out
www.Dlr-web.de there is somewhere a documentation about a research in applauding at Ldg....
Personaly I have experienced it as a pax with the LTU but not with the LH...
I.M.H.O it a cool sound when 300 poeple start applauding...
Hope to here it from the right seat one day
so long
Micky
