xcitation, WHEN would the passengers or crew have put on life jackets?
Not sure you are asking the right person the right question. Please re-read my posts. My apologies if it was that badly written that a lawyer couldn't discern my meaning.
If I interpret your question to be when would the AF447 cabin crew have instructed the PAX to don jackets. I think the SOP for this equipment would be for instructions to happen after ditching in the sea.
If the plane was in extreme turbulence please describe the sequence of events needed to don life vests and then tell me if that is feasible in a violently buffeting airplane.

Was that a rhetorical question (equally
)
If not then for the first part I defer to cabin crew qualified on similar equipment; for the second part I would say it would be feesible but very unlikely especially if you are working with the flat spin hypothesis.
