A week or so ago I was watching on of those jolly Air Crash programmes involving a 737 [?] landing at LAX on top on an aircraft holding on the runway.
Part of the body-count was attributed to the over-wing door not being thrown outside the ac and, instead, being left inside ... half-blocking the exit.
I don't care what definitions or descriptions people use to define exit-row occupancy, so long as the people who are sat there do the job when/if it's needed. If that means me being declared too old or feeble [physically, not mentally
] I'll live with the slur.
