Passenger safety briefing
In theory it might be a good idea to have more passenger information available about what could happen in a non-normal situation. It would be good if passengers (and press) realised that an emergency descent is the correct and safest pilot response to a depressurisation.
However where do you draw the line? e.g. Do you tell passengers about the yaw to be expected in the event of an engine failure? Or what smoke in the cabin would really be like. Or how loud it will be if the landing gear doesn't retract properly? And what about the 1001 other possible events that could happen on any particular flight?
And would you really want this in the pre-flight safety demo - instead of 4 minutes it would turn into the length of a 4 hour sim check!
Perhaps we could have a little more written info though on the safety briefing card for those interested. What do you think, would that be reassuring or unduly worrying?
