Honest in-flight annoucements onboard Veritas Airways
THE AIRLINE INDUSTRY
Sep 7th 2006
A friend e-mailed me this Economist article today.
In-flight announcements are not entirely truthful. What might an honest
one sound like?
"GOOD morning, ladies and gentlemen. We are delighted to welcome you
aboard Veritas Airways, the airline that tells it like it is. Please
ensure that your seat belt is fastened, your seat back is upright and
your tray-table is stowed. At Veritas Airways, your safety is our first
priority. Actually, that is not quite true: if it were, our seats would
be rear-facing, like those in military aircraft, since they are safer
in the event of an emergency landing. But then hardly anybody would buy
our tickets and we would go bust.
