To anyone with a bit of cultural sophistication, a Dranse day is fly fishing and then skiing or vice versa.
Can I gently prod this thread back on to track, which is the behaviour of a positioning captain in uniform blatantly ignoring the safety brief, talking over it and then waltzing around the cabin to get a coffee, when the aircraft commander has left the belt sign on.
In my opinion this sets a dreadful example to the pax, who may learn to disregard the brief and seat belt sign.

F3G I agree; though in some cases there are no bad crews only occasionally very bad leaders

Every time I've seen BA crew in uniform travelling as PAX, they are very conscientous about following the safety briefing.
Now I've got fed up of the BA safety video with that bl***y teddy bear getting dropped every time! Also, 'the captain and crew are here for your safety'. As the captain and FO are there to drive the thing - if they don't do that, we've not got off the stand - it's a poor choice of words.

cabin crew as pax
On the BA Berlin to LHR last week, a "in uniform" BA cabin crew, in last row of club, was very busy reading his (german) newspaper, for the video briefing, as well as the mini German briefing.
Thinking about it, I was the only pax in club who actually did pay attention to the briefing, I was NOT in uniform.
The lack of consideration to the on duty cabin crew was disgusting.
