When to inflate the life jacket?
On my last two flights as I was paying attention to the safety briefing and the instructions were, if using the overwing exit to inflate the life jacket after leaving the aircraft. Previously and at another carrier the instruction was to inflate the jacket as one was leaving the aircraft. I understand the reasons not to inflate the life jacket jacket inside the aircraft and I am confused why it is ok to inflate the life jacket to inflate the jacket why still inside the aircraft while heading to a normal exit.
I am concerned about heading to a normal exit, having inflate the life jacket then find the exit blocked and having to go an overwing exit and block it. What happens in that case?
Which is the policy in your airline about inflating the life jacket?
I hope my thinking makes sense!
