In Flight Entertainment Is No Longer Limited To Winning Merchandise

Aviation need not be a stuffy sector and innovation is most welcome but I was speechless at Cebu Pacific’s latest “innovation.”

I am no prig, but this makes my molars grind in disbelief. Flight attendants are beacons of dignity: you have to respect them as authoritative frontliners with impeccable manners, polished behaviours and unshakeable air of graciousness and pride of her job. This is supposed to be fun for Cebu pacific but I hit the replay button in hope that the “fun-ness” of it will win me over with repeated viewing (sometimes things just grow on you) but I still have that sinking feeling of disappointment. I fly Cebu Pacific all the time and Fun Games is cool but this stunt robs the hardworking flight attendant a sense of nobility. Aviation is not a chorus line for Wowowee, Eat Bulaga or Showtime. There is a need for us to trust and respect the men and women who ensure our well being thousands of miles above the ground. It is humbling enough to serve every whim of people much lesser than you are; it’s demeaning when your safety precaution measures/message is drowned by ghoulish pop tune and bad choreography.

Passengers should pay attention to instructions, not swaying hips and jiggly boobs.
