stagger,
Not to be attacking you or anything, but how smart would that be? There are two reasons for the PAX evac test. One, the obvious, to see if it can be done in the 90 seconds alloted. Two, so that airport support staff that respond to emergencies can be trained on what to expect from an actual evacuation. You don't want the airports to be learning exactly what may happen and what they will need under actual emergency conditions. This is why the FAA and the JAA(or EASA) told them no simulation.
