Funny thread, especially since a bunch of frequent LX flyers and LX board posters celebrated the end of the Swiss Travelclub program at a farewell party that featured an invitation by Swiss to their aviation training center including a full-fledged FA safety training. We simulated smoke in the cabin, putting out a fire in the gally, decompression and the use of oxygen masks, as well as evacuating by means of slides and rafts. We even had to put the canopy on the blown up raft, wearing inflated lifevests. Airoli showed his skills as flight attendant.

Ever since the event I like watching the FAs reaction when they give me the exit row instructions, and I answer: Don't worry, I have used these for evacuation before.
