Hello and thanks for flying with Virgin America.
-
A few announcements as we begin our flight.
-
Everyone should have a look at the safety card that is in the seat pocket in front of you.
-
Not only does it have pretty pictures,
-
but it has an important information about the location
-
and how to operate all exists
-
and explains other safety features of this airplane.
-
Please keep your seat belts fasten whenever the seat belt light is on.
-
To be safe, we recommend your seat belts stay fasten whenever you are in your seat
-
just in case there is an unexpected turbulence.
-
And
-
please comply with instructions from the in-flight team with regards to the fasten seat belt sign.
-
For the point zero zero zero one percent of you,
-
who have never operated a seat belt before,
-
it works like this
-
Just insert the metal end into the buckle until it clicks
-
and pull on to loosen and to tighten.
-
To open, lift on top of the buckle.
-
Be sure the seat belt fits low and tight across your lap
-
and you’re good to go
-
There are four doors,
-
two in the front and two on the rear.
-
Each door has an inflation slide which inflates when the door is open.
-
There are also two window exits over the wings
-
also equipped with inflation slides.
-
The slides in each door
-
can also be detached from the airplane
-
and used for flotation if necessary
-
Each door and window exit
-
is indicated by an exit sign.
-
There is also a path of white lights along the base of the seats
-
that lead to red lights which marked the exits
-
Take the moment to look around
-
and find your closest exit.
-
This maybe behind you.
-
Go on. We’ll wait.
-
It’s unlikely
-
but if the cabin pressure changes suddenly during the flight,
-
oxygen masks will automatically drop from the compartment above of your seat.
-
If this happens,
-
pull the mask down to your face and cover your nose and mouth.
-
Slip the elastic band around your head
-
and tightened by pulling the loose ends at each side of the mask.
-
Then, just breathe normally.
-
Oxygen will be flowing to the mask
-
so don’t worry if the bag doesn’t inflate.
-
Be sure to put your mask on before helping others
-
and keep it on until a crew member advises you to take it off.
-
Also unlikely is the possibility of a water landing.
-
But just in case
-
a pouch containing a life vest is located under your seat.
-
In first class,
-
they’re between seats at the floor level.
-
Take it out of the plastic bag
-
and place the vest over your head.
-
The strap goes around your waist
-
and attaches with a buckle
-
Pull on the end of the strap to tighten
-
as you leave the aircraft full sharply on the red plastic handles to inflate.
-
The vest can also be inflated by blowing into the red tubes at both shoulders.
-
A water activated locator light is attached at shoulder level.
-
Keep in mind that
-
your seat cushion is not a flotation device.
-
so please don’t take it home with you.
-
A word about complaints from our friends at the FAA,
-
the airplane is one big no smoking zone.
-
So you can’t smoke in the restrooms or anywhere else on the airplane.
-
Tampering with, disabling, or destroying restroom smoke detector isn’t allowed by law.
-
And everyone is required to follow the instructions from the in-flight team
-
and comply with lighted information signs and posted placards
-
Okay, as we get ready to take off
-
please check that your seat belts are fasten,
-
seats and tray tables are up,
-
and your electronics are off.
-
As the crew comes through to make a final cabin check,
-
please let us know if you have any questions or need any help.
-
We promised to do everything we can to make sure you have a safe comfortable flight.
-
Not least of which is ending this speech now.
-
Thanks!
