Any thoughts that a ditching aircraft may not want to open the non overwing exits? Perhaps that could just let the water in, sink the aircraft faster. Thus the ERJ 145 says to only use the overwing exits in a water landing, not the normal exits.
Could Boeings & Airbusses float better, don't have to worry about flooding?
