This has to be the most boring safety video ever and I wonder how many passengers will stay engaged from beginning to end.
I liked the old animated safety video better.
LOL - I know the guy putting the mask on in the economy seat. I use to work with him at Etihad.
It's maybe soothing but it's so slow and quiet and blend.... I stopped watching after 30seconds....
So the thing that caught me was the Louvre. I was there just a couple of weeks after it opened back in 2017 and flew out the next morning on Ethiad in the Apartment to JFK. I was in Abu Dhabi for less than 24 hours and I spent 4+ hours in the Louvre and could have spent another 4 hours there. It is beyond stunning and is the thing I remember most about being in Abu Dhabi. They are very proud of their cultural icon that you just can't take your eyes off of. Yes the video is boring and slow, but they also want to showcase this architectural masterpiece they are covet. Perhaps they could have done that separately. When Covid is over with or calmed down enough to travel again, I urge everyone who can, to visit the Louvre in Abu Dhabi. And give yourself at least 6 hours.
A non-zero amount of people will likely wear face coverings on planes for quite some time even after it's not required. Therefore, safety briefings (live or video) will likely continue to state "If you're wearing any type of face covering and a loss of cabin pressure occurs, you'll need to remove the face covering prior to putting the oxygen mask on."
I think Etihad's personality can be likened to the interior of a Mercedes Benz sedan. A perfectly comfortable, luxurious and familiar environment, but with little zex appeal.
I have many more similar analogies 😉
