My two cents -

As a FF (BA Gold, DL Platinum), I have the odd hour under my belt. I can't remember them all, but at least including:

B747-400
B777-200
B777-300ER
B767-400
B767-300
B767-300ER
B767-200
B757
B737-just about all of them
B717
MD-80
MD-88
MD-90
MD-11
A319
A320
A321
A330
A340
L1011
Comet (yes, really!)
Plus various CRJ, Fokker & Embraer puddlejumpers
In the military -
C130
Transall
VC10
Puma
Sea King
Chinook
Scout
Wessex
Lynx
Gazelle
Squirrel

The point is, despite the seats looking much the same (less helos & mil ac), they keep moving the doors and safety procedures on me SO I READ THE CARD. I LISTEN TO THE PRESENTATION. Much as it makes me laugh how the same old faces are on the same old videos of the airlines, it gives me the info I need for THIS ac.

I'm sure this has backed up the CC here, but a note of caution. Here's a quote from another thread from CC (my bold):

I also do say though if half the pax LISTENED to saftey demos rather than gassing and reading and thinking yeah yeah whatever, the situation may not have been so scary as they would have known what to do straigh away.
If CC can't spell safety, what in God's name suggests that said individual will pay any more attention to detail in the carrying out of saftey (sic) duties than merely spelling it correctly?
