I just had a thought- would FTer's be interested in something along the lines of the SFO maitenence tour- but dealing w/ fa's?

I am thinking, a tour of the Training center, perhaps sitting in on a class or two, a tour of TK (safety training), seeing the mockups, doing a mock evac, raft exercise, opening a a/c door w/ all the bells and whistles, etc.


Just a thought.

I would tend to agree, but it's not my call. (but point out that 40E would have been a good choice) I also don't know how this played out. There are a couple of pursers whom I feel I know well enough to ask, but this wasn't one of them. He might well have ended up somewhere else - all I can say is that he was still in his seat when I was there.

That would be wonderful. I wrote WHQ some time back suggesting such a thing, and that people might be willing to part with miles or Real Cash Money for the experience. Sadly, it didn't go anywhere.

On a GoJet UX flight recently, the FA objected me to putting my paperback book in the seatback pocket during takeoff.

I did the same, some years ago. Ditto response.

Just a thought.
I would be game - you think the training center might like to have a few untrained bodies to practice an evacuation?

We flew a domestic LH flight last year in Y, but thanks to *A Gold, we were in an exit row. I was surprised that LH does not all any carry-on bags placed under the seat in front of an exit row. This was A320/321.
