 I wondered that myself last time I looked for the jacket.

 The other worry is when flying in USA over absolutely NO water at all,
 they tell you that the seat can be used as floatation device.

 I had a good laugh after my last flight.. I picked up a postcard that
 was a freebie, and showed the cockpit of the plane.  Later, on close
 inspection, you can read the notice that's on the back of the pilot's
 seat:

   "ATTENTION!  Seat must be in the forward and upright position
   for take offs and landings."

 (Or words to that effect).   ROFL!  I should HOPE so!
