After flying so many times, it's easy to find the "pre-flight instructions" to be a bit of a nuisance.  I usually just keep reading during them, so I would be inclined to find this a bit of a distraction!

I was on a flight once (NAS-CVG) with a flight attendant who was a bit on the ditzy side.  She somehow managed to get the seat-belt tangled up with the oxygen mask AND the cord on the microphone and nearly fell while trying to get them untangled.  She had this huge knotted-up mess hanging from the cord and eventually just gave up on untangling them and used the microphone then (and throughout the flight) with the stuff hanging from it.  About a half-hour into the flight, someone finally broke down and told her she forgot to take the life jacket off.  Now THAT was an entertaining way to give pre-flight instructions!  She was a trooper about it and found her own antics quite funny and never seemed flustered, so I don't feel too bad about laughing!

I think it's great, and if it keeps people like Nate watching, all the better!  (Just picking on you, buddy! ;) )  I think it's well done and would love to see it on one of my flights.  I still pay attention to the demo after all these years, if for no other reason than to show my respect for the crews doing them.  I also always count the number of rows to the nearest exit fore and aft, and if I'm in an exit row you'd better bet I briefed myself on how to open the door...you just never know!

Well said Chuck - I don't fly a lot at all but I always paid attention - someone is talking to you - it's just the respectful thing to do!

Even more important, fly in clothing which is solid, like jeans, and good shoes.  You don't want to run across a burning wing in shorts and flip flops or socks because you took your shoes off for take off and landing.  Sometimes when I see people on the plane, ah, don't get me going...

Good points Michi...I can't imagine trying to get out in flip flops.  I can barely walk in them as is!
