The most irresponsible comment by a journalist dealing with BA038

[727 exec]

Excuse the delay in writing this, but have been away with no internet connection!!

I was listening to one of the London 'talk' stations and heard the presenter covering the BA038 incident comment that she makes a point of never listening to the safety briefings - indeed she seemed to think that this briefing causes a negative atmosphere.

Gadzooks I thought...she's got a zillion listeners (some of whom rang in to complain at this), but if more passengers thought that this intentional lack of attention was a good idea, then we'd never get the passengers off in 90 seconds...can you imagine how many injuries we could have been dealing with??

Air incidents make big news - do we really want a journalist 'dis-ing' the safety briefing????????
