Safety issues
Millno
I do agree with you. But what you do have to realise is, many times I am a passenger with the same people, on the same airline, on the same route.
Now I always check which exit is nearest to me, and I then count, every seat from mine to the exit, so I know if the s**t hits the fan, which way to go, and how many seats before I exit the aircraft.
In my PPL training, I have already been taught the importance of pax safety, especially when doing forced landings. But the difference here is, my pax is sat next to me and in arms reach of every switch, button, lever, and control column. Not the same as a passenger aircraft.
I dont want to go down the route of "I dont listen, I dont care, I have done it before", but please do credit us with some sense, especailly on the short haul business passenger routes, as many many of us fly so often. CHarters I agree are different. And I will listen to the briefing because it will be a different aircraft, with different exit locations.
Soap box getting wobbly now, so better get off.
AERFOLIRT, there is a PM for you chuck.
Happy landings.
