Good for you. Not everyone flys as much as you do.
If you've flown once - and paid attention that first time - you should know what to do.....
Again - this isn't complicated stuff.

Yeah, I don't get it either. A projectile is a projectile, electronic or not. That argument makes no sense. I kind-of-sort-of accepted the 'it might interfere with the navigation equipment' argument... but that was shot to hell when airlines started offering paid WiFi. Um, no, sorry, why is WiFi suddenly SAFE just because I'm paying you for it?
I really think this is one of those rules that's been around so long, no one wants to admit it was stupid in the first place, so no one wants to be the one to admit it needs changing.
This is the problem. It isn't too much to ask passengers to make the plane safe for the rest of the passengers during landing or take offs. If people are too put out by such requests maybe they need to find another way to travel.
Whenever you see this crap about "safety" always look to see who is loosing money from a change in business operations. Any guesses here?
They should make it interesting, change it up, maybe put jokes in, make it a show, dancing girls and all that jaz. Then people will watch and listen.![]()
How about an iBeacon app showing a recommended exit route based on your real-time seat location?![]()
Hopefully the union wins. Don't need a bunch of people around me yapping on their phones.

Here's a interesting concept -
IT'S NOT YOUR AIRCRAFT. YOU'RE A GUEST. DO AS YOU'RE TOLD.
Bring it.
How are they affected if I'm reading while the safety message is announced?
Flight attendants should of went away with the milk man. What do they really do anyway? They're lucky that this is a eye candy occupation, and if they weren't majority females then they would be getting a McDonald's employee salary. Like I asked,what do they go again?

The issue with the safety announcement is that it is so rote and routine now that no one pays any attention to it. I think they could make it more useful by updating it and giving information specific about the plane. Everyone knows how to put a seatbelt on and take it off. For example, what would be helpful would be being told that the exit rows on this plane are next to rows 21 and 22. That way I know in advance when I'm in row 16 whether the closest exit is behind me. Or since there are more planes with video, show some realistic recreations of what I might expect in an actual emergency.
I have always wondered, how would they even know if you're on airplane mode or not?
