I'm guessing you don't have to use the damn things for work then....
a mate of mine is a checking caption with Virgin - says (up in the air) flying is 98% total boredom - (boots on the dash, reading the papers type of stuff....), and the other 2% totally intense seat of the pants stuff...
What's that stat. about the majority of air crashes being
survivable? - if you can remember a few things.... A whole documentary was made on this...
#Count the seats rear and aft from you to the exits.
#DON'T inflate your life vest till you're out of the plane - otherwise you're pinned to the ceiling/floor as it sinks
#burst into action immediately you can exit the plane - don't hesitate - climb over (empty) seats etc
# Crawl along the floor - follow the green exit lights if acrid smoke is present
# plus a bunch of other stuff I cant recall grrrr
all this I have "gleaned" from countless episodes of Air Crash Investigation
