Soon after Virgin Blue began in Oz, the cabin crews were obviously intent on showing how out of fashion the Qantas outfit was by using the pre-flight announcements as a form of entertainment.
On one particular flight the male attendant introduced the female crew as 'from the rear of the aircraft we have Sandy, Mandy and Brandy. And I'm Randy".
When explaining the lifejackets 'placed for no particular reason under your seat, you'll find that they have a light that is totally useless in daytime and a whistle for attracting sharks'.
There were slight variations on this theme that only lasted a few weeks...perhaps the 'powers that be' had decided enough was enough. Most passengers I thought were amused, but I guess the subject matter is one not to be made light of even if 90% of passengers take no notice anyway.
