Well, it clearly worked for them.
So how many real actual emergency evacuations have they had since this was introduced?
And they all went perfectly?
Just seems to me to be a reduction in safety standards without even gaining any cost saving or anything, the same number of cabin Crew are on board (are they not?) so why not use them as before?
What next, why bother with all the cockpit checks, make one Pilot do them on his/her own so they will do them properly.
What about Engineering, why insist on two LAMEs checking any work on primary flight controls, just use one to make him/her do it properly.
Nunc est bibendum
The PA made when exiting the runway is by the CSM who normally says something like:
At various times in the subsequent PA you'll be asked a few times to 'check' various things- over head lockers, seat pockets, for belongings, loose items, small children, etc. Sure it wasn't this you heard with reference to the word 'check'? There is nothing to cross check when exiting the runway and certainly no PAs from the flight deck as part of SOPs.
Welcome to Melbourne where the local time is (whatever)....

Exited the runway was a little loose in my wording sorry, closer to the terminal. It was definitely Cross-Check. I always think to myself "cabin crew cross dress" (which no doubt some of them would enjoy). I was specifically listening out for it after I had been reading this thread. Also, this was a 76 versus 73 if that makes any difference in the SOP's.
