- The clip posted across TikTok, X, Facebook and Instagram delivered: “If you clap when we land, we’ll clap when you leave.”
- Coverage presents the message as a cheeky social post rather than any operational or policy shift.
- Travel Republic’s Gemma Brown advised avoiding applause because it can be seen as undermining pilots’ professionalism.
- She suggested showing appreciation after disembarkation by thanking the crew at the door.
- Reports also reiterated routine safety reminders to remain seated with seatbelts fastened until the sign is off and to keep phones in airplane mode until crew say otherwise.
