Nice touch! ^

All in all, I like it.

I like the sketch of the plane compared to the oragami. Even has the seat map. ^

The runaway groom was my favorite part.

New safety video coming

UA 895 today (10/2) has old safety video. Bummer. Was hoping for the new one. Wonder if they are waiting for translation?

And I have to say, the runaway groom actually got me to laugh out loud. First time that's happened in a safety video.

Well done United - this is actually engaging and funny. Really enjoying this a whole lot more than the Larry Kellner talking-head days.

OMG

The guy in the Willis Tower Ledge is a friend of mine! What a pleasant surprise.

I don't think he is the MP bidder, though, as he does some acting on the side apart from his day job.

...
I think they are referring to the portion when they instruct everyone to ensure large electronics are stowed. Someone is trying to shove an over sized CPU looking box into a backpack. Occurs at about 3:30 in the linked video.

This video is just as awful as the current one. The only slight improvement they've made in this one is removing the herky-jerky change in music with every scene. It's awful in the current video and it's at least smoothed out in the new video. But I find no comedic relief like I used to on the DL videos. I guess it's better than nothing

I heard that all the people in these safety videos are United employees and not paid actors. Is this true?

If so, United has some pretty good looking people working for it.

With 85,000 employees you should be able to snag a few.

Saw the video this morning, and it isn't as good as the last one IMO. I am really going to miss the kangaroo that makes the noise when the FA says "rip open the pouch"

yeah, it's fine. Was definitely time to change it up ... but I don't find it very inspiring.

New safety video coming

Just saw it for the first time, not as creative but I watched intently trying to see any flyer talk incite with it...unfortunately I missed the entire video concentrating too hard
