Others made the point that life jackets aren't required if the plane is not going beyond 20km of land (I think that was the distance), so none on board and no demo.
Does anyone know if YYJ/YVR flights on AC Jazz actually have life jackets on board?
If yes, why no demo? What's the downside?
Well, maybe because the demo would be WAY too funny: There are no life vests aboard so you need to use your seat cushion. Do not pull it over your head, you cannot. Do not blow into the straw, there is none. Do not look for a whistle, outta luck again. And there is no light that comes on in contact with water, you need to use that flashlight that was confiscated at security. You can still however wrap both arms tightly around the seat cushion while still aboard, and say your prayers. Remember, your safety and security is our foremost consideration. Have a good flight.
