Notso Fantastic,
So why is Airbus so worried about it themselves? They made application to both the JAA and the FAA to do it totally by analysis and not perform an actual test. They were told no by both so now they have to really do it.
Their ass won't be on fire and all it will take is one that freezes and won't jump and then they have to get another 200 people and crew to do the test or wait 6 months to do it again.
When they go to do the Asian seating style there will be way more than 200 up there.
ps. going 2 by 2 is only going to make the chance that a screw up occurs only greater. I did not know it was a double slide though. All the simulation I have seen it was a single slide.
