Hi Witwiw,
Thanks for posting the info from the regs. Hopefully it will 'sink in' as you said - although I find no matter how many times I read some things it takes me a while to get it (this is the same with the Guam approach charts when I'm not anticipating going there. I find it hard to get familiar with a place by reading about it.)
Good point about being prepared - I think you can never be prepared enough for something like a cockpit fire and unexpected diversion.
Not totally familiar with the windows, although I am an Airbus pilot. I guess, whether it is Airbus or Boeing doesn't really matter too much. If a cockpit window caught fire I would be concerned that one of the risks might be that the window could pop out.
Anyway, thanks for your valuable feedback.
Regards..
