How common is it now within the industry that operators require their pilots to routinely conduct actual EEJ training in order that you can experience the angles/force required/release mechanisms for the type you fly. I am specifically thinking about larger types with escape windows.
Someone the dunkers have replicated windows that replicates it quite well.
Some operators have dedicated training doors too
