I believe all commercial jets *do* have floats for all the passengers
and crew.  Assuming the plane makes a soft landing on the ocean, like
that plane did in the Hudson, one should suffice to keep me alive
until rescue.

Has any such plane--big commercial passenger jet--after made a soft
landing on the ocean? Any ocean?

Check Wikipedia, "Water Landing". The short answer is: Yes, but not
very often.
