Ok... I had to watch it again so I can give a proper review... man it's overwhelming. I can't figure out when they were just singing and when they were giving out safety instructions.
Most people don't listen to safety instructions anyways, so I guess it doesn't matter. Personally, I preferred the original calm and soothing video. But I guess they are going for something different.

Yeah, way over the top. They should study NZ's videos, which are memorable without trying too hard.
The one good thing I will say is that it explicitly shows that e-cigarettes are verboten.

I agree I think its a bit harsh and long. They could have taken the same concept and made it more "efficient." Now I get to hear this 4+ times a month and THEN another 5 minutes of commercials.
VX, if you are reading this, don't take it the wrong way. I actually like it! I just don't want 5 minutes of it playing in my face every time I fly (which is pretty often).

Between this thread and the other it sounds like this video is a bit much. I agree. It's too long, and will get on my nerves hearing it twice a week. There's way too much robot for sure!

My first impression was that it was a bit on the long side, including unnecessary verses and difficult to understand lyrics. But on replays it sort of get stuck in. I can see how this video can become annoying for the frequent traveller, and VX seem to understand this as they're saying there will be another version coming along. Whether it's the same music/lyrics not sure.
This can become viral online and is a nice tune.

Which is why I'll start bidding the #3 position (aft galley). As much as I love this video (!!!!), I wouldn't even know where to begin with doing the demo. I do a very dry, straightforward demo which would look really awkward with all of this music. And I'm certainly not going to be performing lol But we have a lot of teammates who will have fun doing this demo =)
