Not sure if this has been raised before, but what do F/As think about the cabin safety aspect of the decision of US to remove the in flight video system on the domestic fleet?
The cabin safety demo on US is, of course, now done manually. Not only have a number of studies show that people will pay closer attention to video than a live person, but a good cabin safety video also shows actual operation of safety features (lots of them on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_quer..._type=&aq=f, the "naked ANZ" one being one of my favorites: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-Mq9HAE62Y). Isn't there a negative impact on cabin safety?
(Idea for side topic: what is your favorite safety video?)
Here is a good one, without body paint. A few years old. Maybe it's because I like the sound of "nosausgangen" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-G6tx51ChI...3C2&index=0
Camera work is not the best - but interesting video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YkoWLViVRQ...C8&index=36
