Dear fellow contributors,
I asked once a cabin crew member to allow me to put on the demo flight jacket. She turn the requested to the senior FA of the flight and the answer was "No you will create a panic among passengers and you don't know anything about planes so don't annoy me".
So maybe the mentality of the crew might need some fine tuning as well along with licensing of the pax.
I know the above comments will not make me popular here but I still follow all safety demos and I treat all crew with utmost respect.
