In Case of Emergency, Just Dance!
Sometime last Friday or Saturday, while I was surfing the net for aviation videos (I’m an avid fan of aviation, hehe!) on Youtube, I stumbled on this flight safety instruction procedure by the dancing flight attendants of Cebu Pacific Air here in my beloved Philippines. Well, instead of the usual boring and ho-hum safety instructions that has been like a ritual every flight for both passengers and FAs, it really caught my attention when I heard Lady Gaga over the PA and these FAs just started to dance!
The usual flight safety instruction procedure back then--boring no?
For most frequent fliers, although it is as important as their lives, flight safety instruction procedures or videos are the most boring part of the flight. The FAs try to give the proper instructions in case of emergency, however they may be frustrated by the inattentiveness of the passengers. Duh! Its your life on the line! But listening to the instructions seem to be really too much. Some irate passengers may say, “get on with it an fly!” Not so interesting, really-even if our lives hang on that boring SOP.
Cebu Pacific Air has been a pioneer of these fun flights, ever since they were still following the traditional “legacy” approach a long time ago. This makes flight a bit pleasant and not boring. In today’s age where tight-budget means every little piece of comforting smile may be removed, at least this flight safety instruction video really did caught my attention! For the first time, the passengers were either looking at the FAs dancing or listening to the safety instructions. Finally, the FAs have a chance to do their moves and smile while they have all the attention of the passengers-and now the attention of the world! There are 3 million views for this particular video as of the time of posting-and growing!
Philippines' Cebu Pacific Air -- Home of the Dancing Flight Attendants
Just a few days have passed, this video has gone viral on Youtube! Media outfits such as UK’s Telegraph and US’s Huffington Post. I guess I saw some of it being shown in some international news channels. Even the Hollywood’s celebrity blogger Perez Hilton loves the dancing flight attendants.
