We talk a lot about service on Amtrak and good and not so good service employees. Have a listen to this guy as he preps passengers for a flight.

I enjoy flying, but I also take it seriously. And I don't need some flight attendant turning safety procedures into a lame comedy act. BTW, shouldn't that video gizmo already have been turned off and stowed?Should have known that would be an announcement from Southwest. I have to fly them alot with work, and they certainly do liven up those safety announcements. I've even had flight crews sing them to the passengers. A little over the top sure, but, it does make people enjoy it just a little bit more.

Instruction on safety procedures is not the time for entertainment.I enjoy flying, but I also take it seriously.

I enjoy flying also, but, what's wrong with injecting a little 'personality' into the safety lecture? As long as all of the required information is given to the passengers, regardless of whether or not they are listening, I think there's nothing wrong with trying to have a little fun with it.
As long as the information is communicated accurately, and it was, adding some entertainment value serves to get people to pay attention. A humorous but informative safety announcement that people listen to is, in my opinion, more effective in ensuring safety than the dry, scripted announcements that no one hears.
In that same vein, here is the safety video from Virgin Atlantic. Quite entertaining, and the only safety video I have ever seen that rolls credits at the conclusion. Make sure your seat belt is low and tight at your hips and enjoy.
Or maybe a fried egg? :lol:....We'll have an emergency landing party. Yah-HOO!! Last one down the chute is a rotten egg."
