Thank you for clarification re BA SOP.

Per my post above, at USAirways the F/A would remain at the top of the slide "helping(!)" the psgrs on to it. Three helpers would be tapped on the shoulder and told to assist at the bottom. (If they wandered away then new designees would be voluntold to assist at the bottom.) I also know this to be the case at DL. It only makes sense for the professionals to be at the top of the slide, making sure the psgrs don't bottle out and refuse to slide.
