Checking for Danger
Going over some S.E.P questions on a really quite flight today, we were discussing hw the cabin crew check through the "porthole" window in an emergency to check that it is safe to open the door and that it is a suitable exit. But how are we supposed to be able to check for this danger when the majority of the time these windows are either totally frozen over or degraded in such a state that the become useless. Is this not a saftey isssue? And why have (i work Boeings) Boeing not come up with a better or larger window for this very important/lifesaving task?
One other thing that has been bugging me latley (or every winter) is the stupid lino in the rear and fwd galley floors, that mixed with water/de-icing fluid, becomes a death trap!! I never new its my job to catch passengers, their supposed to be SLF!!
