Narrative:
Since we are required to stand in our live safety demo positions during the video demo; there was no one at the back of the plane to see if the monitors went out. Also since we were in the aisle we were not by our doors in case of an evacuation. While I understand that we are not by our doors during a live demo; in that case we are satisfying the far that all passengers should see a safety demo. In this case the video satisfies that far. For safety we should be by our doors in case of an evacuation. Also when standing in the aisle I noticed that the passengers who were paying attention were paying more attention to me than the video demo. If it is an far that all passengers see a safety demo then why are we standing in the aisle as a distraction to fulfilling that far?
