Where can i find credible info on ditching A320 ??? In my airline we dont condemn an exit during emergency evacuation but allways use caution before opening. In ditching scenario we are trained to use overwing exits without being giiven reason...
In the Hudson case, after reading some threads it seems that some airlines do condemn the rear exits, as the a/c will float tail heavy - so DONT OPEN rear doors !! Makes sense to me... and there is clear evidense in the US Air pics.
Any info from manufacturers or authorities is what i need so i may pass it on and up through my superiors... maybe get a policy change.
