'In
the event of an emergency, the cabin crew will be the ones carrying the liquor
kit': Extravagant male flight attendant's hilarious safety speech takes web by
storm
Southwest Airlines have
officially started a new trend when it comes to pre-flight safety
demonstrations.
Two months after flight attendant
Martha 'Marty' Cobbs became a YouTube star after a video of her regulation
monologue became an international sensation, another employee at the airline
has gone viral thanks to a similar spiel.
The unnamed steward had his cabin
cackling in laughter after delivering a series of jokes during a flight from
San Francisco to Chicago on June 17.
'In the event you haven't been in
an automobile since 1960, flight attendants still have to show you how to
fasten a seatbelt,' he said, as seen in a video posted to YouTube.

The flamboyant flight attendant
made light of the mandatory safety briefing, with a video of his monologue
quickly spreading on social media
'That seatbelt needs to be low
and tight across your hips just like the hot pink Speedo I'm going to be
wearing when I finally get the three of us to a hotel hot tub tonight.'
The video has received almost
85,000 views.
YouTube poster David London said
the steward threw a cocktail party halfway through the flight.
'Folks, if you don’t like the
jokes or the service today, there are six ways out of this airplane,' he said,
indicating the exits.
Elise May, Inflight Aviation
Safety Action Program (ASAP) at Southwest Airlines said at the IATA Cabin
Operations Safety Conference in Madrid that the company is fun-loving and that
they encourage employees to be creative with their jobs while still following
procedure.
'As long as all of the Safety and
regulatory requirements are met, our Flight Attendants are encouraged to make
onboard Safety briefings engaging through the use of humor, song, or other
individual twists,' May told travel website Skift.
'One example of this is Flight
Attendant Marty Cobb, who recently made a splash when her comedic pre-flight
briefing went viral.
'Marty is just one example of the
fun-loving spirit that Southwest Employees exhibit every day to further enhance
our safety culture.'
Cobb's video caused such a splash
that she was contacted by Ellen DeGeneres and appeared on the comedienne's
show.
