You must fly mostly 757s and Airbus flights. Any plane with personal video screens (747, international 777 and 767) or without video (737) still has to do the demo live.
I noticed on a recent flight to HKG that the part of the speech about the life vest says something about a water activated light, or something like that. New life vests? The demo life vests don't show it. Just curious.
