Interesting. Why would they not apportion freight on the routes where that revenue is gathered ? Seems strange to me. I've been told by flight crew that the AKL-EZE route has surprised AIR management with much higher freight volumes than expected.

Maybe they should just get back to basics and show a short straight to the point safety video like they used to !! https://www.stuff.co.nz/travel/trave...w-instructions
Thanks for the link mate. Honestly having watched the video last week there's nothing wrong with it, its mildly amusing and quite PC. If that's too tough for "Miss Prissy" to watch then I think the appropriate response considering the cost to the airline and major disruption to other people's travel plans is she gets to travel on JetStar's super cramped domestic planes for the rest of her life. I hope she gets a permanent ban from AIR.
I read that she/they were in the emergency exit row so not wanting to be listening to the emergency preamble they needed to replace them with someone more agreeable to be there.
Yeap the same attitude of "we're above this safety nonsense" got Bob Jones in trouble in the emergency exit row. Bottom line is if you want your eyes to glaze over and are not even remotely interested in even feigning interest in the safety video then don't put other lives at risk, so sit somewhere else. These sort of people would be more interested in grabbing their carry on Gucci luggage than helping deploy safety doors in the event of an emergency and deserve other passengers derision and contempt. Ban them for life so they have to fly JetStar's rubbish experience, sweet justice !
Apparently quite a few got their overhead luggage and went down the evacuation slide when that Russian jet caught on fire ....hope they didn’t hinder any of the 40 odd who didn’t make it.
Reminds me ....keep my shoes on (or at least be able to put them on quickly) when flying
I find it interesting that they decided to have such a fit (passengers and ANZ). If I'm not mistaken there is nothing in the safety video about what people in exit rows need to do, that is a discussion the flight stewards have with you when you are in the seat (and to be honest it's not much chop anyway, they dont exactly tell you much). If you have seen the safety video more than a dozen times already there really is no need to watch it again regardless of which row you are in. If however, the video said in the exit row you need to do this in an emergency then yes I could see why the ANZ staff would expect a high level of attention if you are in the exit row. Someone correct me if I'm wrong though. Having said all that, I generally glance at the video but certainly not absorbed in it.
