exits

at present i work for tfly (ex by) but i've just accepted ba. i didn't know that was the way the manufacturers reffered to them but that has always been procedure on all a/c types (including the airbus that we tested a few years ago) all doors or exits were just numbered in sequence to their position on the fuselage. i.e. rear doors are doors 3 or 4.

it's interesting to see these kind of differences that although small could be extremely confusing. something i noticed during the interview (similarly small but different but otherwise unrelated) i was told to adopt the brace position which is feet forward of the knee's whereas tfly is behind the knees, i would have thought this should be standardised by the caa as they are completelt opposite!!
