As long-legged SLF, I frequently ask for exit seats.
I'm usually asked whether I'm prepared to open the door in emergency.
I've
never been briefed about helping others, nor has anything about whether I should just get out and **** off or hang around to help others ever been mentioned - nothing other than opening the door. From memory, this goes for BA, Lufthansa, EasyJet, Olympic and Air France.
I hope I'd have the wit to direct pax away from the plane if the need arose. But it'd be entirely on my own initiative.
