So I'm on a BA airbus. Overwing exit, jettison door through hatch.

I'm on an Amercia West airbus. Place hatch door on seat.

Why the inconsistency?

More difficult. A319 or A320. For water landing, exit through over wing exits.

A321, all exits - presumably because of different CoG. Could confuse.

Lifejackets. Don't say that the probability of there being enough aeroplane hanging together for anyone to be able to choose how to leave is fairly remote....

As far as DC9/MD80 tail cones - they always say these are opened by a crew member. What if the crew member is incapcitated?

Lacking explanation. If oxygen masks appear, there will be a sudden descent.
why not say so?

Finally, an overdue rule. PAX ignoring the safety briefing and being unable to answer a short exam will be ejected - from whatever height the aircraft is at!
