Couldn't see cabin safety briefing!
Mrs Avman being an ex F/A who always reads the safety card and pays meticulous attention to the safety briefings, I have been taught (= it’s been beaten into me), quite rightly, to show respect to the crew and do likewise - regardless whether or not it’s my 10th sector in a matter of weeks on the same type and same airline.
Today my view of the cabin safety briefing was blocked by a guy a few rows in front of me who, making a great show of ignoring the briefing, was reading his broadsheet newspaper whilst leaning against the seat top in front of him.
Yes, I did mention it to a crew member who took note of my comment and offered to rebrief me. However, I just thought I’d pass this little experience on via this forum for your future consideration. It might also be an idea for the Captain to add in his pre departure “pay attention to the cabin safety briefing” speel that pax should put down their newspapers whilst the briefing is in progress.
