A Review of Movie: fLiGhT pLaN

First and foremost, i would say that fLiGhT pLaN is an atypical flightshow. Noramally, flight shows are about Hostage attacks ( e.g. Turbulence 1,2,&3) or about rescueing important characters and figures (e.g. Airforce 1) or funny movies (e.g. Airplane sequel 1&2). All these storylines are rather predictable (to some extent), as in you can predict whats going to happen next.

As for flightplan, i would say generally that it is a rather special movie, given the fact that it deviates from the normal mundane storyline.

CRITIC: PORTRAYS FLIGHT ATTENDANTS AS " THE BAD GUYS"

Flight Attendents are the pillars of an aircraft. Without the existence of the flight crew, the whole flight journey will not be smooth sailing. Just imagine, upon entering an airplane, there is NO SERVICE, no one to take care of your needs, serve your meals or provide neccessary assistance to passengers. NO SERVICE @ ALL... can you imagine * shudder*.

Pilots are important too but they are not the focus in this time * sorry*

Let me just briefly introduce the job scope of a flight attendant:

(i)BEFORE TAKE OFF:
They need to check in the plane 3 hours before take off to prepare the cabin. Actions include the checking for litter, food and the overall cabin ambience.

(ii)BOARDING:
Upon the checking of the passengers, they will offer assistance to passengers who needs help with their seats or lugguages. Before take off, they are also to ensure that all passengers' seatbelts are securely fastened, all seats put to upright position, all overhead compartments are closed and the galley free of loose items. After making sure of all these, they then can proceed to take their seats for take off.

(iii)TAKE OFF:
Normally, after 15 mins upon departure, beverages will be served. Peanuts and poker cards are also available upon request. Main meals will be served during the middle of the journey. They are also the Safety Specialist on board a commercial airline. Should there be a turbulence, due to air pockets or aircraft moving into storm clouds, they are to ensure that passengers return to their seats and securely fastened their seatbelts.

(iv)LANDING:
Upon landing, they will have to guide the paasengers out of the aircraft before de- boarding the plane themselves.

Flight Attendents should always remember that every action counts. Rude gestures to passengers will reflect badly on themselves as well as the airline they serve. Just a guide.. a flight attendent should be friendly, greet with a smile, show that they CARE, and making the trip on board as pleasant as possible for the passengers. If they are able to do that, they have succeeded in their job!!

fLiGhT pLaN is a boring show, i would say for those who do not luve flight shows. For me, i think is realtively ok *not up to my standard sadly*

SQ RoX!!!
