Boy stuns Jetstar staff with memorised safety briefing
Cabin crew thought they had seen it all from passengers. But what this eight-year-old boy did was unlike anything they’ve ever witnessed.
When you were tuning out of the pre-flight safety briefing, this eight-year-old boy was doing the opposite — and it’s left Jetstar’s staff stunned.
Beau, from Melbourne, became so enthralled by the safety demonstration on his Jetstar flight he memorised it word for word.
The youngster then went home and used toys and household objects to recreate Jetstar’s entire safety briefing in front of a captive audience of his family members.
“Beau took a real interest in the cabin crew and Jetstar and he took a real interest in the safety briefing and then he started to practise it when we went home,” Beau’s mum Kylie said.
Kylie filmed Beau performing the briefing and sent it to Jetstar, where staff were so impressed they invited him to spend a day at the airline’s Cabin Crew Training Centre.
There, he also got to perform the briefing again with a member of the cabin crew on a simulated plane cabin.
Beau got to go home with a suitcase of his own safety gear, including a lifejacket, oxygen mask and safety card.
He said he wanted to work for Jetstar when he was older.
“I really liked planes so then I started practising and making stuff for it,” he said.
