		<description>Merrill, 

For what it's worth, I took a job many years ago where I would be traveling quiet a bit.  It was required that we take a air safety course.  It was conducted by a former flight attendant and the company was called Safe Air.  They had a number of instructional videos and lecture, but also had an old partial fuselage of a 737 and we sat in seats and went through simulated escapes.  It was a very interesting little one day course that went through a great deal about what not to wear, how to case out the plane to see which of the passengers would be most likely to stand between you and a successful evacuation, etc.  If nothing else, I can say I have removed the door and actually slid down the inflatable slide (a lot of fun I might add).

They did try and sell stuff at the end of the course (videos, personal breathing filters, etc.), but it was probably worth whatever the company had to pay.  I still catch myself counting the rows to the nearest exit and not wearing pantyhose when I fly.</description>
