'In the event of an emergency, the cabin crew will be the ones carrying the liquor kit'

'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.

'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.
