Party Room?
Don't forget, it is Cathay policy to serve neither alcoholic or hot drinks to any person not seated in their assigned seat, irrespective of the status of the seatbelts sign. That will be one of hell of party room.....
Good for Swire Bottlers though, another Coke Sir??
It doesn't matter what aircraft we use, we have lost the plot when it's come to the "customer experience", the girls are the star of the show,- no distractions allowed.
- Entertainment system available pre-departure, and in the descent- cannot
- An OCD like compulsion to not allow anyone to have anything not bolted down in descent... Duvets, Newspapers, shoes, games, bags, noise cancelling headsets,- cannot
- savouring that half finished drink? they will fight you for it when the call comes to clear away the meal service. God-forbid you ask for more;- cannot
Just dozing off to sleep or enjoying that action movie? How about a three language PA informing you Duty Free sales are about to start. What's more important, your pleasure or the girls' commission?
Wanna watch that movie, first sit through 4 mins of naff graphics and Ads before each movie or TV show. Isn't the ticket price enough?
In seat Internet access,- same as lie flat beds in Business Class, we will be last adopters.
And finally, I saw the safety brief, I read the sign in front of me telling me to have my seatbelt on, I heard the first set of three language PAs when the seatbelt signs came on the first time, I heard to the FAs waking everyone to ensure their seatbelts are fastened, I heard the banging on the toilet doors, I heard the babies start crying when removed from the bassinets, I heard the parents arguing that it was a dumb policy, I heard the FAs warning them to behave or the Captain will divert the aircraft, ......BUT
Do I really need the three PAs everytime the seatbelt signs come on subsequently? If I forget the routine, the FAs do come through the cabin to remind me.....
Ahhhh.... That feels better......
