Get rid of the skymall magazine and give me my life vest back.
But, but... That's 250 pages of stuff I never knew I didn't need!

I would still want the option though. If G-d forbid i am ever in that situation with my kids, how am I supposed to keep them afloat on a cushion?

...Land yes, but it won't take that long to crash. If your plane is going down then it is going to drop to the ground in a lot less than 50 miles...
And what about my kids?Your seat is your flotation device and I would think you could use that a lot quicker than a vest.
...The Jazz plane they're referring to flies over the Great Lakes and I guess their reasoning is that if the plane were to go into a "water landing" (I love that phrase) then the Coast Guard would be able to reach you in a very short time being only 50 miles from shore...
First class will be aluminum lawn chairs bolted down with a piece of rope for a seat belt.perhaps they will strip everything to the shell, issue earplugs, and call it a MAC flight.
So by that logic you would be fine if they got rid of all safety equipment on a plane?
i'm thinking of putting a couple of mae wests in the back of my truck...
am-west, prop airplanes have decent glide ratios.
jets, especially one's with fat people and extra luggage, drop like rocks. but i agree with ronjohn. it depends on the altitude.
