I don’t pay too much attention any more; I’ve got the thing practically memorized. BUT, I do buckle up at all times and I always check where exits are and make plans for evacuation.

I do a lot of flying over the ocean and I always check under the seat for my life jacket. I was returning from the South Pacific and was on the last leg of a 50-hour travel. I was very tired. The leg was just a short hop from Minneapolis to Atlanta. I reached under my seat to check for the life preserver. IT WASN’T THERE! Total panic set in. I checked the seats next to me and there weren’t any there. I was just about to call the stewardess and ask for one when I realized, the only water we would travel over was the Ohio and Tennessee Rivers. LOL!

I calmed back down and laughed at myself the rest of the trip.

Yep, and we probably can recite the sequence by heart. Gotta guard against complacency, though. Sounds like you are doing a good job of that.

Of course, those rivers might be the choice of landing spots if you were to go down.
