23. LISTEN to the announcements. Oh, I understand the safety thing may be a bit old and don't blame your for zoning out, but we are all crammed in here together and we need to be on the same page, so when the captain is speaking ... pay attention.

Case in point: On a delayed flight from LA to San Fran, the crew made an announcement about people having tight connections upon landing. Asked about 5 of us who could still make our connection to raise our hands so we could be identified and asked others to let us off first. I was one of the 5.

When we landed, the passengers didn't make way for a single one of the 5 people who raised their hand. All got up and clogged the aisles. Missed my connection and got a lovely 10-hour layover.

(Of course, I was flying into San Fran. I guarantee if I was flying into Des Moines, the passengers would have not only stayed out of the aisles to let us pass, but also would have offered to help fetch our bags.)
