Don't know about some of you guys, but i've had to do a few hundred pax briefs asa pilot flying the bugsmashers of this world and there is nothing worse than doing a SERIOUS pax brief (e.g. life jacket brief) only to have a question of what's in the pouch a parachute from one pax.
Doesn't matter how you do it i was taught, just make sure the moron down the back gets the message.
Its been too long since some of you had to deal directly with the guys and girls sitting in the rear rows. Maybe you need to get back to the real world and try doing an announcement or two and see who really pays attention.
And good luck to all those aspiring comedians whofound the jetsetting lifestyle pays just that little bit better.
