Lifejackets

[Amy Chancey]

I fly , (used to ) International Air Ambulance, and have to say we  
never wear life jackets.  We fly in Lear's and the jackets are under  
the seat, and there is a raft in the jet that is deployed by the  
Pilots.  I have to say I have never even been trained on the use of  
the life vests!!  I have been with the company for 3 years, and don't  
even get briefed about emergency egress yearly!
I am an old AF FN so I guess they just assume.  I have been out due  
to back injury for 5 months now.  I have begun to look
at other career options.  My sister has a travel agency and at least  
I can work in that field, phone and computer, without further back  
injury.
thanks
