footwear in emergency landings
Last year the aircraft I was travelling to New York in was involved in an emergency landing when it appeared that the nose leg was not locked down. During the preparations for the landing the ladies in the cabin staff were in stockinged feet having removed their high heels as per standard instructions, my question is why don't they have some flat shoes available for such an occasion? It was winter, with snow on the ground, and if there had to have been an emergency evacuation they would have been somewhat hampered once they got outside.
