easyJet safety briefing
I flew back to the UK with easyJet a few days ago.
In his pre-flight announcement, the captain made a point of stating quite assertively that it was his legal responsibility to ensure that passengers paid full attention to the safety demonstration and would they kindly do so. He made the announcement in such a manner that the passengers seated around me looked up almost in amazement.
My question is this: is there some kind of company-wide policy being implemented via captains to get passengers to listen to the announcement, or was it simply that this pilot is just so irritated with passengers not listening?
