Not many maybe, but there is likely to be a first timer somewhere - everybody had to have a first time.
I guess I am used to dos and don'ts but i feel there is too much shilly shallying in most of the wording. Went on Aer Lingus for the first time recently and the announcements were excellent - e.g. 'Smoking is illegal, failure to obey orders from the crew is punishable by imprisonment' - do this, do that, it was spot on. Doesn't mean everyone listened of course but it set a good tone.
