Humor depends on who tells the joke, how it is told, context etc.. Our employer fueling a stereotype that our job is easy, crosses that line. If they made fun of themselves (Bankruptcy button) in the video and other work groups, FA (shown as a restaurant server), MTC etc...it would have been easier to take I'm sure. We were the only Delta employee joke at the end....not cool. Happy to see they removed it, but very surprised it made the final cut with Delta being on the forefront of PC.
Not you specifically man, but seriously we all need to,"lighten up Francis".

If we can't allow ourselves to be poked fun at, as the "leaders" of the flt operations team, who will? I thought it wasn't that funny, but a good attempt. We all could use a dose of lighten the F up. Might as well start w cockpit leadership.

i think the video is pretty good overall. i dont find it to be lame at all. there is only so much humor that should be interjected into a safety video and what they did has a great balance.

outside of the fly button i give it a B.

i subtracted a letter grade for using one of them wide airplanes and not a Douglas.

I'm not sure about your second question. I know in general 75% is a safe bottom line % to hold a line. There are exceptions though. When MSP M88 first opened I believe it was well over a year before anyone below 50% could hold a line. I believe 75% in the ATL 320B will NOT hold a line either.
Thanks Johnso29.
