The topic about escape slides reminded me of something I have been wondering about for a while....
I was looking at a Qantas A330, and it didn't seem to have any escape hatches (at least in the roof)
I am sure of seeing hatches in the roof while paxing on jumpseats (never mind they looked so tiny only a 5 year old would fit). Now when I look at anything from a 737 up, they don't seem to have any hatches.
Am I crazy? Did jets used to have hatches in the roof? If so, why do they not have them any more? Have they decided they are no longer 'useful'? Or now putting hatches in the floor/sides? Or some other method of escaping the a/c? (In the event the pilots may not be able to escape with the pax)
Silly question I know but it's driving me crazy!
