Oh FFS, get off your high-horses you plonkers.
Do you think for a minute that these safety briefings are not approved by the appropriate regulators???
It is the
content of the briefings that matters,
not the delivery. As others have said, if it gets the pax attention and gets the message through, then I'm all for it. I've only flown
VB the once and, whilst I found some of the cracks a little groan-inducing, I
did listen with undivided attention to what was being said. I'd rather listen to that delivery of the safety briefing by someone that is obviously happy in their work and enjoying the opportunity to project some of their own personality into their delivery, than the mind-numbing drone offered by Qantas and other airline FA's during theirs.
I see it as a further manifestation of the positive culture engendered in all Virgin operations by founder Richard Branson, and personally welcome it.
