Flip Flop Flyer,

Somewhere back earlier in the thread I said I have no problems with Airbus products nor am I taking pot shots at them.

You also point out what I think will be a hindrance not a savior by shrouding the slide. During the test it will be dark. How many people do you think will jump without hesitation into a blackhole without seeing the bottom? Out of the 200 on the upper deck, what are the chances that one will hesitate and blow the test? You answer those questions to yourself. I care not what your answers are.

Thats great that they will slow you down at the bottom so the fat heffer behind you kicks you in the back.

And just so you know, they told the world the tail was less efficient, but in reality it was highly more efficient. It just cost a ton to build. Your right the bean counters got their hands on that and put the stopper on it. Boeing, not wanting to give the highly subsidized competitor any free ideas, poo poo’d the idea so that they might not check it out for themselves.
