"She’ll be right", say passengers
A report by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau, suggest that Aussie travellers take a “She’ll be right” attitude to safety, paying little or no attention to briefings by flight attendants and rarely looking at the aircraft’s safety card.
Four hundred passengers were surveyed at airports across the country after disembarking from flights operated by all the main domestic airlines.
One in three found the safety video and demonstration boring because they had “heard it all before”.
Many said they located their nearest exit, but almost none counted how many seat rows were between themselves and safety.
President of the Flight Attendants Association, Steven Reed, said there was more to the job then simply offering a choice of “beef or chicken” for dinner. He said cabin crew were trained to defend the cockpit “at all costs”.
Mr Reed said flight attendants were “safety professionals” first.
