I was flying back from BHX to GLA last week with BE (Q400) and the two pax in row 2 (front row on the RHS of that particular aircraft) were briefed on the operation of the emergency exit in some detail.
As my last few trips have seen me sat nearer the back (I am sadly just regular SLF and not an occupant of the coveted Row 0
), I could not say if this was the norm... perhaps somebody from BE could confirm or refute this.
I do also recall the cabin crew on EZY pointing out to pax sat on the exit rows that they were indeed sat at exit rows and would be required to assist in an emergency, but I am fairly certain that they were directed to read the safety card for the actual operation of the exit.
Just thought I would...
a) share what feels like a relevant experience and
b) post instead of just lurking!
Cheers,
G-BHZO.
