Pre flight briefs from the flight deck
I am rewriting some briefing material on pre flight briefings for cabin crew from the flight deck and would be interested in your input please.
I would normally introduce myself and the FO and find out the names of everyone and how many sectors we are all operating together. I would then talk about the weather, any expected delays, slot times, flight times and then agree a time to meet for going out to the aircraft. I would also ask if there are any specials or anyone I should know about. I would just empahasise to everyone that if you see or hear anything (or anyone) you do not like please let us know in the flight deck.
I wonder how you feel about FD briefings, are they important to you or are you not bothered? Do most crews/ airlines do them? Finally is there anything you could add to my briefing-please feel free to PM if you want to.
Thank you
