Is this right?
As a well travelled passenger on many different airlines over the years, averaging 30/40 flight per year. I have always paid attention to safety briefings before each flight, having once incurred the wrath (quite rightly) of a BMI hostie 'cos I didn't put my paper down whilst she doing her stuff .
However, today, on an FR flight from Dublin to Luton, the girl was totally incomprehensible. There was plenty of volume etc, but she was either Russian, Eastern Bloc or similar, and frankly no one could understand a word she was saying as she frantically gabbled her way through the briefing - she might as well have been speaking Swahili....! Heaven knows what she would have been like under the stress of an emergency.
Whilst the £20 return fare was very welcome, are the boundaries being stretched too far here?? As a recently qualified PPL, I ensure my pax get a far better understanding of what to do in an emergency!! Where do the CAA stand on such issues??
