1) During the emergency briefing, do you:
a) on a new carrier or a new aircraft type, but mostly it's the same ol' MD-90 or B-767 on Delta so I can almost recite it. I do notice, however, when they change videos. And I also always try to mmemorize the number of rows to the nearest exit. I don't like those that have a conversation during the announcement. There are other passengers who would like to listen.


2) During boarding, when they ask you to stow roller-bags handle side out, do you:
b). I'm amazed how many don't take advantage of the newer, deeper overhead bins, even FA's. We finally got new bins that will take many of the rollers "handle-out" and people don't use them. On my latest DL B-757 there were actually stickers on the inside of the overhead bin door showing how to stowe the rollers.


3) After landing, when they ask you to remain seated with seatbelt fastened, do you:
a). There is not much to do even if you unfasten the belt beforehand. BTW, I keep the belt on all the time, except for the occasional trip to the lav.
