Have a Safe Flight

"Have a Safe Flight"
The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Bureau of Transportation Statistics says air travel was up 0.9 percent in the first five months this year over the same period a year earlier.
Soon, fall will be here along with increased travel during the holiday season.
The Thanksgiving and Christmas/New Year’s holiday periods are among the busiest long-distance travel periods of the year.
With this in mind let's review some safety suggestions that will make a difference in your life and in the person's seated next to you.
Safety - 1st
Order from the SkyCap Catalog- 2nd
1. Pay Attention to the Preflight Briefing - 10 minutes of your attention may mean your life or the one that you save.
- Carefully read the safety briefing card
- Listen to the Flight Attendants
2. Keep Your Seat Belt Fastened While You are Seated.
- Clear Air Turbulence can be unexpected and can cause serious injuries
3. Don't Drink Too Much - emergencies & alcohol, a mixer you can do without.
- Moderation is a good policy at any altitude.
4. Keep Your Wits About You - Be alert & ready, a prepared passenger is
