Qantas staff angry at "tacky" John Travolta safety video...


An in-flight safety video featuring John Travolta has angered Qantas employees who think it is tacky and demeans them. The cheesy three-minute video, shown before take-off, has the actor smiling into the camera and saying: "This is your captain speaking - well, maybe not today."

Travolta is, of course, a pilot as well as being a Hollywood actor and Scientologist. He has his own Boeing 707 with Qantas livery - and is hired by the airline as "an ambassador".

On the video, he tells passengers: "I can guarantee that the guys on the flight deck and the team care just as much about aircraft safety as I do. I've been flying over 40 years as a pilot and I can tell you there's no one I'd rather have at the controls than a Qantas pilot." More...
