Boofhead, you are correct, the ditching switch was not selected to "ditch", however its my understanding that as the ditching checklist was written on the assumption that one would have lots of time gliding from high alt to get the whole thing done and as the ditching switch is way down the list F/O Styles didnt have the time to select it, again, keep it short! Mind you keeping it short and Airbus are not normally on the same page, but thats another thread altogether.
