Have any of you taken a domestic flight recently? I did - and was struck by the announcements on board the flight. I wasn't able to understand a word of what was being said!
Oki - I agree that I am not a hindi pandit - and that may have caused some confusion during the Hindi announcements! But to my amusement, I realised it wasnt any different in English!!
Slurred speech, rendered too fast and indifferently - had the passengers amused, confused & bemused!
"Ldies n Gnenmen - sncks n bvrg wll sooon b sreved on board. theprce lst is at ur set - feel freeto odr ur nees!!! "
The thing is, the point was lost on a lot of passengers, who didnt realize they had to pay and exorbidantly too, for the snacks - and thereby ensued a righteous brawl about airline fare!!
If only the announcement was made slowly, loudly and clearly - it would have saved everyone a lot of trouble
And announcements continued- about "turbunce, reay for takof, smucking n toiless" .....
I wonder if any of these airlines moguls- who so pride themselves on excellent service, have ever heard how their flight attendants sound? If it is too much problem to help them hone their communication skills, wouldn't a taped announcement would do?
Oh well - if it doesn't worry them - it certainly should just entertainment on board to us!!!
Buzzing of now
