Hi all,
well, the thread started off like a bird on the runway ;-)
@ Chris - thanks, that could be the reason - didn't look for other devices cause I'm used to the one on the floor.
@ Spiton - everybody going in the same direction - like on en- and disembarking a bird? That take ages - o.k., in an emergency you should leave you handbaggage behind - but I doubt that everybody would.
The time spreads to ages while waiting to get out when you have to reach your next flight in another terminal and time is late. (and that was sitting row 9)
@ ChristiaanJ - being a pilot (though helicopter) myself and flying at least once a year, having spent two years in GB and being fairly fit in English and having some basic knowledge of French, I still found it hard to understand the announcements in the safety briefing - even so I knew, what would come!
An emergency wouldn't be a problem for the frequent flyer, who might have even booked his seat close to an exit, people which fly for the first time or very seldom would have a problem.
Seen it better on an Air Berlin flight, where the safety briefing was on monitors.
Another concern is the seat spacing - not in business class, but the normal ones. O.K, I'm tall, but with everybody getting taller and many other getting fatter, some won't even be able to get out of their seats, if anybody adjacent is unconsciousness or dead.
But an seat row extra is extra money and everybody want's to fly for 29 € cross Europe....
Greetings Flying Bull
