I fly a Boeing 737 not for ryan, but, I always listen to the saftey brief, even when I am travelling in civiys, there is good reason behind this, in an emergency you could forget what to do and haviing that nice reminder might just save your life.
EVERY time we take off we run through what to do in the event of a rejected take off and or an engine fire, why, because it is a mental reminder what to do in the event of. I know what to do, I can do it in my sleep, however under extreme stress we can forget, so it is good to review everytime for safety's sake.
Hope the bugger loses, he deserves to.
