Over wing emergency exit. Great instructions
For the first time ever, when in an emergency exit seat, I was given full and comprehensive instructions.
Flying SA from PLZ to CPT.
The instructions were of course on the card but also diagrams etc were pasted on the frame at the side of window ( including the weight of the window).
CC gave very clear instructions on removing the window.
He also explained " Check for smoke / fire on my side" and how to indicate to other passengers NOT to use my exit.
I really appreciated this well presented, in your face, "this is serious!" approach. Well done SA.
It certainly underlined that the primary role of CC is first, safety for all then every thing else is secondary.
I am not so sure I would stand with my back to the window with my arms crossed across my chest trying to ensure the other exits were used instead.
I am unsure if the rest of the pax were briefed to understand my potential message.
These instructions came as a bit of a shock to my infrequent travelling friends across the ailse.
Is this sort of approach carried out on other carriers?
Are there any significant variations on the instructions?
