Pax life vests not MEL?

[Tony_SLF]

I don't think you will find that safety is treated as a matter of affordability in aviation. But I agree it needs to be as inexpensive as possible.


Let's see about some options;

1. place the cord in some form of pocket where it cant be grabbed by someone else climbing all over you but is easy to get at
2. Velcro the toggle onto the inside of the vest rather than letting it dangle
3. make it a 2 action system to inflate the vest
4. make it only inflate when in the water
5. some other great idea from someone out there. Maybe an idea that costs very little but saves you

Hope you and yours never need it Bud.
