Nothing is worse than the Delta announcements. It goes on and on and on. And, god forbid you get a flight where they use the safety video. That's even longer and horriby redundant.
1. they should place their individual item in multiple overhead compartments?"Place larger item in the overhead compartment and smaller item under the seat in front of you."
There are two mistakes here:
1.) "Overhead compartment" should be plural (how many overheads are there on each aircraft?).
2.) "Item" should be plural.
Both should be plural because we're speaking to a group of people, not an individual.1. they should place their individual item in multiple overhead compartments?
2. They should only have one large item and one small item according to the rules. We know this isn't reality, but it is the way it is supposed to be.
Overall it's a cheap job handed off to the frontline employees. Listen, it will be a cold day in hell before you see people reading from it for the majority of their announcements. Come onboard and spank us cause it won't be happening.
I want it! I do not know of ANY other US 121 carrier airline that mandates an announcement booklet. :angry: Go ahead, prove me wrong!
I'm sorry but that book is beyond terrible. I tried my hardest to use it as we're suppose to but it just can't happen. There is so much wrong with that little book that I can't list them all. Most have been covered here in detail but until you actually HEAR it or you try to READ the damn thing over the PA you won't understand. You sound like a moron jumping from box to box to box. What on EARTH is up with the wording for the life vest demo? ARE YOU KIDDING ME??????? I will NEVER read from that book as long as it's printed as is. NO WAY! ! ! Oh yeah and FlyGuyBWI......you are 100% correct about stowing the book. We're not to be holding ANYTHING during taxi, takeoff and landing while in our jumpseat. Sorry but I gotta put the book away.
.I can't WAIT to start using pink/salmon colored linens in Envoy. Lord have mercy. PINK/SALMON?????? :wacko:
I suggest calling the FAA and pointing out the shortcomings of this new, "improved" manual. Specifically, let them know how it is impacting your ability to do the job you are LICENSED to do. File an ASAP form, just for grins, and wait for the oh-so-sincere boilerplate letter thanking you for your input (which will be promptly ignored.
The call to the FAA, though, will likely rattle some cages in the right location, i.e. Tempe.
There is an FAA whistleblower program if you want to remain anonymous. Well, supposedly anonymous.
