in just one language
Marketing is it's own language now?
in just one language
I feel like this article is very harsh, especially with the use of strong words such as "elitist" and "sexist". You'd think a major incident involving HR occurred by the tone of the article. This style of video is hardly new.Cabin crew call for ‘elitist and sexist’ Qantas safety video to be binned Paywalled, so a few extracts
JAL has been nothing but applauded, including for the short concise 4 minute demo in two languages which actually calls out certain behaviours. This one is going to be about 5-6 in just one language.
Must have missed the news on the effectiveness of the JAL safety video in relation to the recent incident. I've flown JAL twice in the last year and must admit, I remember nothing of the video at all. Whereas, I last flew SQ 2 years ago, and I can still remember that one.Underwhelmed to be honest. Considering what happened in Japan, the focus should be on safety and not showcasing destinations. Interesting no aircraft shown at all.
That's not a thing, anymore... 1/3 of people on most flights would be people streaming or playing back content from devices while connected to Bluetooth headphonesBTW nothing about turning off Bluetooth before airplane mode. Is that not important anymore?.
And there are ways to do that without making it Love Actually 2. You can do frequent, simple, cost effect changes, without a massive production that still get the message.

Which begs the question: do safety videos actually make a difference?. Or is it just a tick box exercise to fulfill regulatory requirements?By all accounts pax onboard the JAL flight were breaking most of those rules and had to be corrected by flight attendants and other pax
They were the quoted words of the national secretary of the Flight Attendants Association. I didn’t post everything from the article..I feel like this article is very harsh, especially with the use of strong words such as "elitist" and "sexist".

I don't think anyone in QF F lounge is a QF employee. Neither are CC I'm told...Qantas staff such as Nestor
Yes. I wasn't trying to say your post in any way was harsh, but the article itself.They were the quoted words of the national secretary of the Flight Attendants Association. I didn’t post everything from the article..
Yes I noticed it was fixed a few shots later also. I think this is poor effort from QF, only emphasising they use this for marketing more than safety.I actually saw this as well and then a few seconds later it was fixed. Not a good look.

Not woke enough apparently for the FAAAThis video does an exceptional job of showcasing QF's virtues on gender equity, diversity and indigenous recognition
One intepretation is that if you want to go to magical places don't fly Qantasso many places not on Qantas' route map.
Cos they're not QF ports, but a handful of curated people's "my special place" .... presumably only able to be reached by flying QF.... yep weird asBit weird to have so many places not on Qantas' route map.
