Now Stuff have written an opinion piece trashing it. What's interesting is that all the media keep referring ti it as having been "dumped" - and while we'll never really know my personal view is that it hasn't been dumped, it's simply come to the end of it's initial 3 month cycle for a domestic safety video which is in line with the run times of others before they're swapped out.

I was in Sydney (came in on a morning flight which also featured one of the last instances of the safety video) the wind was insane, it was so strong it was physically blowing me over. A lot of planes were delayed.

Some of the planes have the next months IFE loaded as early as the 20th of the previous month - so it isn't impossible to imagine that it was an early plane and the decision made after its update and it won't get summer of safety until the March update in a few days? I have had summer of safety LH earlier this month.

Was scheduled to end on the 31st January on domestic aircraft to which then saw Summer of safety back for the Northland summer campaign. It's scheduled to continue until the end of February on all international services and A320R which are flying both domestic and short haul at present.

I was actually thinking today that we must be due a new safety video, it's almost 6 months since they pulled it from domestic flights. Steve Hansen's acting has improved considerably since his garage door and biscuit advert days
