All overwater planes do have life vests, and while the previous person put is crassly, a Flight Attendant is on board for your safety above all else--and safety is never compromised. The standards are set forth by the FAA and airlines have no choice but to comply. Jazz's having EXTRA flotation devices was fine, but no airline would ever be permitted go below what is required. And I can assure you--the FAA checks. And the checks are completely random and unannounced. The fines imposed for ANY safety violations (even seemingly minor ones) are so steep that no airline would choice to compromise that. Passengers will not fly on an unsafe airline, no matter how cheap it is. Anyone remember ValueJet…?
