I didn't pull the Life Jacket out of its pouch for fear of committing some sort of obscure felony, but now I'm bored at work and curious.

So, do J PAX get better life jackets?
One of the little advertised benefits of J and the secret status above SE is priority dis-embarkation. In case of emergencies other passengers must stand aside and let you exit first.

Tango passengers can also be called upon to cushion the impact of the crash on J passengers.
