Two people removed from Air New Zealand flight after failing to listen to safety briefing
Two "wealthy-looking" passengers were kicked off an Air New Zealand flight after reportedly refusing to pay attention to an airline safety briefing. The two, a man and a woman, were sitting in an exit-row on a plane at Wellington Airport bound for Auckland on Tuesday morning. (www.stuff.co.nz) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I must be a crypto-communist, because I love this story! Good on the cabin crew for doing their job properly!
It would have been worth the extra 25 minutes to see their smug, self important faces getting carted off the plane. I just wish this sort of thing would happen more often.
As a society we all need to look after each other.

I hope the Air NZ example catches on with other airlines
Welcome to New Zealand; the home of the Landed Gentry.
Many white people still view themselves as living in a Class-Based society.
I work in the public sector and I am treated daily to white people who think they are better than everyone else or that the address they live at or the car they drive makes them better or more entitled than others.
While we live in a progressively forward land of natural beauty and abundance; there are those here that are so self centred and feel more entitled than our immigrants, visitors, or people of colour.

Many well travelled passengers can recite the safety briefings in their sleep on different aircraft types and although heads down doesn’t in-still confidence to the F/A during a briefing, passengers occupying emergency exit row seating should always maintain eye contact with the F/A during the briefing! Most airlines will have the F/A ask specific questions to those seated in the emer. exit aisle on what is expected of them. Personally, I’ll take the frequent traveller over the once every 2-3 years holiday seeker who usually to too wasted to know any better and can’t get their shoes/socks on fast enough, let alone grab everything in the overhead during an emer. evac?
As far as safety videos go, this one is pretty good.
