"we went out on the wing but there wasn’t a chute there"
It's unbelievable how stupid people are.
Well that's solved that problem
.
As a regular traveller on a shorthaul type "down the back" I know the standard safety contains a lot of talk about slides and removing high heeled shoes
but the brief for the overwing exits "stops" at the point you've got out of the exit.....
Now being crew, albeit on another type, I know what to expect when out on the wing...obvious isn't it? That in mind I've just done a straw poll of my family, who also occasionally travel on the same type, and guess what? I've had various answers, at least one of which was "there must be a slide"
.......
So as well as kicking myself for not making sure my family have been adequately briefed in that past I also have to ask: Is it just possible some safety briefs need a rethink and a rewrite?
