And a raft, a survival suit, a jacket (for good measure), and no training means you might as well leave it all in the hangar, it's going to be that much use.
I am very unhappy with that comment.
A raft, a survival suit and / or jacket is much better than nothing, training aside. With the jacket, as long as you inflate it before you leave the aircraft at least you should float. I am not sure how much training that takes.
With a dry suite as long as you close the zip before you ditch you should float and keep warm for much longer. Not a lot of training there.
I agree there is a technique to getting into a raft but I guess most people will try and get in from the wing - at least there is a chance of doing so - not much training there either.
Why do we have to complicate everything?
Yes, the training is worthwhile but dont ignore basic measures to improve your chances just because you havent spent a few hours in the tank in Portsmouth
