A FA friend mentioned, on B738s, once the emergency evacuation is activated,the flaps will retract to allow pax to use the overwing exits as an evacuation area...
There is no way, this plane would have landed with 0 flap settings...
? What is the " emergency evacuation" this does not exist... evacuation checklist are read and do items on back of QRH, not some magic button that starts the process.

If time allows verify flaps are at 40 etc etc..

If the hydraulics fail the flaps/slats lock out not retract.. that's why we have hydraulic fuses
