We've had this discussion before, but it's never a bad thing to repeat it! I'm a "frequent flier" partly due to being based in the Mid-East and partly due to having a daughter who's working for an airline and I can "get my own back" from the days when it was
me providing
her with "passes"
I'm right with you, some of the silly b*ggers deserve to burn! I'm pretty nonchelant if it's my
fourth sector in the last week on the
same aircraft type on the same airline, apart from checking how many rows in each direction to the nearest "bolt hole" ( if "it" hits the fan, the lights may not be working or the cabin full of smoke) and reminding myself how that particular door/window opens.
When it's a type or configuration new to me (or one I haven't been in for a while), then a
lot more attention gets paid. As someone else pointed out recently, it is probably worth just taking a quick check under your seat for the life-vest that's supposed to be there - I didn't realise it, but many are removed by "souvenir hunters"
A note of encouragement - the "suits" will probably be still trying to work out how to undo their seat belts as you ( and I
) are
vanishing through the nearest emergency exit
