Airline Offering Plane Crash Survival Course to Frequent Flyers
British Airways is giving their best customers a competitive edge in the event of disaster by offering a course on surviving a plane crash. Beginning next year, members of the airline's Executive Club can cash in air miles to take the four-hour safety class. From the article: "Andy Clubb, the BA manager running the course, told the Independent: 'It makes passengers safer when travelling by giving additional skills and information, it dispels all those Internet theories about the… (www.telegraph.co.uk) Ещё...Like Ben said we should have the airlines doing this as well.
..what?
Air France/klm should offer this to all flyers
This almost sounds like a joke (BA is a Joke) Waht about regular passengers?,and at what stage will it be mandatory for flyers to watch the safety demo instead of reading or talking..I have 1million plus with KLM and 1 million plus with Virgin and would be insulted if they offered me a course on how to undo my seat belt and how to find a Lifebelt..I have been in two crashes in planes and people are people they do what is natural some panic other just want to survive adn go about that proceess in and orderly way..
Really, I do not even know where to start with this one. First off BA, this is one hell of a good way to instill confidence in your repeat and future clients.
Second, why are they taking advice form BP. BP had no plans in-place in case of a blown out well in the Gulf of Mexico. Instead, they are busying tell BA they would like to get their employees trained in surviving a crash landing in remote terrain.
If Air France announced this program it would be the death of the carrier as it signals we (AF) have lost all hope in our planes and pilots so you better learn how to survive as your chances are good for a crash.
Amazing
