i fly a lot of united airlines flights despite being a canadian because i know i will get 100% status miles with them. so whenever i board, i am always confronted with their safety video. the old video is located here. one of the things that used to irritate me so much was the two asian flight attendants in the video, one at the beginning and one at the end, who would bow when doing their greeting. it felt like it was playing into a stereotype, and it also suggested that the air crew provided an certain level of deference which has certainly not been my experience on united.
united recently aired a new safety video located here. there's a wiki about it here. it's new, it's different, and it at least tries to make the standard safety video interesting. that's a change i like!
