Who is the target audience for safety instructions?
I don’t travel as much by air as I did a few years ago, but even with all the changes in today’s air travel world, I remain consistent in one thing. I read the safety instructions. If I was flying coach and knew the make and model of the aircraft, I would often request an exit aisle seat. Those six extra inches between you and the guy's head in front of you make a lot of difference on a coast to coast flight. I felt an obligation to know how to open the hatch if the situation required.
Regardless of where seated, I read the safety instructions. If there is trouble at 30,000 feet that is hardly the time for me to take a crash course (pun intended) in passenger safety. In spite of some repeated emails and traditional correspondence to various airlines, I continue to see safety cards with this phrase.
If you cannot read this, please call the flight attendant.
As an individual who has maintained a life-long passion for the art of the printed word, I have yet to identify the target audience in that message.
What do you call a guy with degrees in Political Science and Biblical Studies? What do you call someone that served as a Marine Officer for over 20 years and now pastors a church? What do you call someone with this unique perspective of the kingdom of the world and the kingdom of God? Most folks just call me Tom.
Poems, prayers, promises, and Camel Spiders.
