But where are they Thandie Newton?
On my flight BA72 from AUH to LHR 15-01-18
Thandie is very politely asking me to watch my crew. Unfortunately they were nowhere to be seen on my side of the aircraft.

The crew member is standing on the other aisle and can be seen from both sides when the point out the exits.

I saw the crew member on the other side, but had to lean forward a considerable amount out of my seat to see her.
Is this common practice? Only curious. I’ve flown in this seat a few times and have always seen two crew members

There should only be one crew member, there are not enough crew onboard to have two there.

There are a number of seats where you can’t see the crew demo - BA and the CAA are aware and comfortable with the situation.

Couple of times in SH the screen for the seat I was occupying was virtually invisible, I mentioned this to the crew who did not seem bothered.

Loverly lady but it's all very hush hush.
