Do most regional planes have screens? I'll be honest despite being born in NZ I've never flown domestically, but I have done so in Australia and the US where not all planes (even between capitals) have in flight entertainment so the safety demo is a crew member showing the important bits.
A320 and up have screens. The ATR72s and Q300, the FA does it. On the turboprops really pleasant, particularly the Q300, its seat belt, exit, life vest, done in 30sec.
Sure release the safety video on Youtube but can we just have the 30sec version when actually on the plane.
