- In the unlikely event of a water evacuation from Phoenix to Burbank your seat cushion can be used as a flotation device
- Smoking is not allowed in aircraft lavatories (notice this is one of two times that the term "aircraft" is used instead of "airplane")
- Please put seat backs and tray table in their full upright and locked positions
- There are six emergency exits on board
- While we do not anticipate a change in aircraft pressure........................
Luckily, we made it to Burbank without incident because I was worried that the only thing stopping me from surviving a horrible crash was one stupid traveler who actually didn't know what to do in case of an emergency.

I know the SWA is relaxed but I didn't know they were THAT relaxed. I personally can't stand the safety speech and always tune them out. I figure, if a plane is going down, I probably wouldn't make it anyway. I guess I should be more positive when I fly.
I don't think that's ever happened on one of my flights before! LOL! I would consider that lucky!
You have to be able to sue them for not following proper procedure. It obviously caused you a lot of emotional distress.
Okay, here's my problem with the "oxygen mask" part of the safety speech. The mantra usually begins with, "We never anticipate a change in cabin pressure..." The fact is, they DO! That's why they're giving the speech in the first place! On some of the more thoughtful airlines, I've heard them say, "In the unlikely event of a change in cabin pressure..." which is the proper way to say it. By the way, you don't ever hear them say, "We never anticipate the right engine's nacelle separating from the fuselage..." even though there's a procedure for that (the airlines are VERY thorough). Now, THAT'S something I never want to hear in a speech.
Incidently, the FARs (Federal Aviation Regulations) require the speech before each takeoff, including that stupid how-to-use-the-seatbelt part. I think that so many people tune out what is potentially life-saving information (like where the exits are in relation to where you're sititng), that after the speech the flight attendant should do a pop quiz on a random passenger. You bet that if they do, everyone will pay attention next time!
One time the Police forgot to read me my Miranda rights and they never forget to that. Well and that is why I am here today.This story is true.
this would have been terryifing.
