boardingpass,

Thanks for the advice. My question is that: company says not to inflate the life jacket if leaving the aircraft from an overwing exit. That means it is ok to inflate it if using the "normal exits". By the way are rear exit on an A320 usable on a ditching?

So if a pax is heading to a rear or front exit he may have inflate the life jacket creating a hazard for himself and the others. Is it correct? If it is, that means the good practice is to inflate the life jacket the moment ones abandons the aircraft. Again, is it correct?
