MJ I'm pleased you mentioned the wearing of cotton clothing which should be pure cotton rather than polycotton as the polyester melts. Pure wool is also good as wool is not easy to ignite. How many people bother to make any mention of suitable clothing to their passengers? About a year ago I took a friend on her first flight in a light aircraft. When she asked me if there was anything she needed to do I suggested that she wear the sort of items I have just mentioned but let her know that it was a purely precautionary measure in case of the unlikely event of a fire. She saw the sense of this and had a great time - her words.
