Lord Spandex Masher I think your point refers to me? The answer is that I weighed up the following:
  1. The likelihood of a ditching
  2. The disruption to my partner and fellow pax if I protested
  3. Understanding that their comment "OK" would not result in a lifejacket, given the CC not being able to converse easily in English
  4. The likelihood that I would be accused of preventing the CC from doing their duty and might even be turned off the flight
After two seconds of turning these points over, I decided not to complain. I wish that I had and, if I ever find one missing again, I will stop the departure. the chance of a jacket being needed and being useful are low but I might as well start with one.
