And thanks for flying with Delta. Our first priority on every flight is safety. So before we depart, I'll be giving a brief safety presentation. Okay! Be sure all carry on items are securely stowed in an overhead bin. Woah. And place small items under the seat in front of you. This is so demeaning. And ensure all isles, exits, and bulkhead areas are clear. If you're seated at an emergency exit, please review the responsibilities for emergency exit seating on the back of the safety information card Which is in your seat pocket. Are you willing and able to assist with the operation of the exit if necessary? Yes. No. If you're unable to perform these functions please let us know and we'd be happy to find you another seat. Yes. As we leave the gate Make sure your seatbelt is fastened. To fasten, insert the metal tip into the buckle and adjust the strap so it's low and tight across your lap. To release the belt, just slip the top of the buckle. [ MUSIC ] Please remain seated with your seatbelt securely fastened any time the seat belt sign is on. And even if the sign is off Please keep your seatbelt fastened in case we experience unexpected rough air. [ MUSIC ] For everyone's safety, federal regulations require all passengers to comply with the posted placards and lighted information signs located throughout the cabin in addition to any crew member instructions. [ MUSIC ] Smoking, including the use of e- cigarettes, is not allowed on any Delta flight. And federal law prohibits tampering with, disabling, or destroying a restroom smoke detector. There are ten exits on this plane. Six doors, three on each side, and four window exits over the wings. Each door has a detachable slide that can be used as a raft. An additional raft is located in a sealing compartment at the back of the plane. All exits are clearly marked with an exit sign. However, if there is a loss of power and cabin visibility is reduced lights will illuminate the awl to guide you to an exit. Please take a moment to find the exits closest to you. And remember, they might be behind you. Its unlikely, but if cabin pressure changes, the panels above your seat will open, revealing oxygen masks [ MUSIC ] If this happens, reach up and pull a mask towards you until the tube is fully extended. Place the mask over your nose and mouth, slip the elastic strap over your head, and adjust the mask if necessary. Breath normally, and note that oxygen is flowing, so don't worry if the bag doesn't inflate. Be sure to adjust your own mask before helping others. Ow, Johnny bit my finger again! A water evacuation is also unlikely, but just in case life vests are located under your seats in the main cabin. If you're seated in the first class or business class cabin, life vests are either in a compartment beneath are adjacent to your seat. To use remove the vest from it's container by pulling on the tab and then opening the pouch. Slip the vest over your head. If your vest has one strap, wrap it around your waist and attach it to the buckle in front. If your vest has two straps, fasten the straps to the front of the vest, and then adjust them loosely around your waist. As you leave the plane, inflate the vest by pulling down on the red tabs at the bottom of the vest, or manually inflate it by blowing it Into the tube at shoulder level. [ MUSIC ] You can activate a light by pulling down on the tab in front. But if your vest doesn't have a tab, the light will activate automatically. In the water. If necessary, we'll distribute infant life vest or other flotation devices for children who weigh 35 pounds or less. Now before we take off, make sure your seat is upright, your armrest are lowered, your tray table is put away, and all carry- on items. Things are properly stowed. And finally, now would be a good time for everyone to review the safety information card, which is in your seat pocket. [ MUSIC ] On behalf of everyone at Delta Airlines, we want to thank you for paying attention. Now As we prepare for takeoff, please relax and enjoy your flight. Do you like blending things? Of course you do. That's where I've gathered the best of the Internet for you to blend. Monty the Dog, Epic Meal Time, Low Anthony, and more. They're all here. Just push one of the buttons below. Unless you're on a phone. Sorry, it won't work on a mobile.
