Flight Attendant Slang, use it NOW!

but i know way too many airport codes, the pre-flight routine (including mean version when you mouth 'you're gonna die, you're gonna die, you're gonna die, die, die' as you point out the nearest emergency exit, keeping in mind that the nearest exit may be begind you) and what the different roles of people near emergency exits are.

sit close to the emergency door. do not sit three seats away. that job sucks.

job two is to follow down the slide and stand at the bottom of the slide shouting 'come this way! come this way! move away from the slide!'

job three is to STAY IN THE PLANE shouting at people to 'come this way!' and encouraging them to come to the exit.

job four also says in the plane, saying 'STOP! GO BACK!' to people that are trying to rush the door.

so, if there's explosions, fire, smoke, etc, jobs three and four are clearly toast because they're supposed to be the last ones off the plane...

What are the odds of 3/4 actually doing their job and not just running like hell?

do they tell you all about your odds of surviving different plane accidents when you work for airlines?? i have a morbid fear of metal fatigue causing my row to detach from the plane - i will be sucked out into the atmosphere, still strapped into my seat.

i remember when that happened to those poor tourists. there was an article about it in newsweek. they had a nice little graphic showing the seats, and little people sitting in the chairs, with a key showing their names, ages, occupations, photos, etc. the problem was that instead of tastefully depicting them in an intact plane, the graphic showed them strapped onto a decapitated chunk of plane, plummeting merrily to their doom on a powder-blue background.

Only just found out that there is a second season already underway.

Thought about watching but couldn't get started yet.
