Although the "safest" way to travel, even airplanes have their share of safety issues. Most of the time, the safety issues are minor, and when there is a big airplane disaster, they are few and far between. But there are a few emergency scenarios in which proper airline safety measures can prevent harm. Usually before the flight, an attendant comes out and runs through these standard airline safety procedures. These procedures are the norm on practically all airlines. There is no flight that takes off without first briefing the passengers on what they need to know in terms of safety. Airline Safety Procedures "It's our standard practice to know all airline safety procedures, no matter which flight we work. Most of the steps are similar when it comes to preparation and emergency action. For example, all seatbelts work the same, and everyone knows that. In the event of us losing air pressure, all safety masks fall down from their overhead compartments. This is true for all airlines. And the life vests are pretty much the same no matter what airline you fly on, so the steps on how to use them are very similar." Janet, Flight Attendant "My first time flying on an airplane I was petrified. I had no idea what to expect. It was a scary thought to think that we were going to be six miles above the earth. What if something happened, how would I know what to do? No one told me that they actually had someone go over the airline safety procedures once you got on the airplane. Between the flight attendant and the airline safety demonstration, I was definitely at ease. Now, I fly all the time."
