Then why do flight attendants point it out on every flight? Perhaps the airlines have considered the possibility that not every passenger on every flight has researched this as much as you have. I believe it reasonable to presume that not all passengers on all flights fly frequently enough to remember this minute detail of aircraft emergency procedures, and as such require a reminder during the emergency briefing. This holds especially true for those people who have never flown before. I further believe that unlike some of the pre-flight announcements, this announcement is made in an effort to be thorough, prudent, and even intentionally repetitve for the sake of parents who might otherwise instinctively react differently what this instruction suggests. A lack of knowledge or recall is not the same as a lack of intelligence or aptitude. For example, the fact that you don't know or understand the instinctive reaction that might cause a mother or father to attempt to put his child's life before his own does not make you stupid. It certainly makes you ignorant. |

Or perhaps they do it because it is required by the FAR's. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

If you think of the preflight briefing as a checklist, the reasons for
including even obvious points becomes more clear. Pilots use checklists all of the time, to help assure themselves that, for example, the wheels are down when they should be. Does that use of checklists make them stupid, or careful? Why mock their use when they are used to remind people what to do in circumstances that occur less frequently than the need to extend the gear, or retract it?

It's really a pretty simple concept, but I've never had it explained on an airline. I don't understand how someone could draw a conclusion that parents are too 'stupid' to understand. If they aren't stupid, they'll figure out for themselves why they should put on their own masks first. |

I guess you are simply incapable of understanding why someone would make a sacrafice for someone else. |

I'm capable of understanding that if Mommy and Daddy don't put on their masks first, both they and their children will die. So they aren't sacrificing _for_ someone else, they are sacrificing someone else, period. Not very bright. |
