Really?!? Those things weigh 65 lbs! I had no idea they would float. Are you sure about that?

If it does float away, is the correct procedure to yell "WILLLLSON!!!"


lol.....I like the procedure.

I am pretty sure that if they are not inflated, these things have the boyancy of a cement filled Buick.
 
Ours is 6 days of GS from 8am to 5pm on your week off followed by a 90 question written. Plus 3 days of sim also on your week off. Pay is $57 a day which amounts to $6.33 an hour.
:puke:

They float. Many rafts are designed to be used by aircraft AND boats. They are designed to be thrown overboard at a moments notice and inflated by someone in the water with a vest on. They even have hand pumps to be used to inflate the raft if the quick inflate method doesn't work. Now, who's airplane is going to float for an hour while you pump air into your 9 man raft??

Just because they float, doesn't mean you can pile 9 people onto them. They have just enough bouyancy to stay on top of the water.
