I'll say it again - We really must rethink our attitude towards evacuations and safety briefings. It is patently clear from Jet2's last three evacuations that these were truly cake and arse parties. It's not Jet2 fault because I'm sure they followed the guidance given by the clowns in the CAA and the lovely muppets in EASA. I'm also sure that cabin crew were properly trained and did their jobs to the very best of their ability. But what appears to have changed is the passenger. Each one now appears to "have rights", very few listen to the pre-flight brief and far too many make their own uninformed, ignorant opinions about their own safety and the actions they should take. Those who can't make up their minds screech and howl whenever anything unusual occurs. The media then re-enforce the beliefs of the stupid by reporting the rubbish they spout off.
Cameronian - It might appear that I'm being unpleasant to those who pay my wages. But I find it difficult to respect ignorance and stupidity. There was a time when most passengers paid attention to the safety brief but now, because people fly so much and emergencies are so rare, very few believe it is worth spending the time to listen and understand what is being said. Unfortunately, the price of doing so is blind disorder and panic. So given that the attitude of passengers has changes, airline safety policies must change to reflect the current world. But such a thing is only possible if the regulatory authorities permit such a change - but there's the problem. They know very little about aviation and even less about people.
