1.) If I'm sat 5 rows from a door and I can't get out because there are people who are either in shock or don't know what to do in the way I don't care if they read the card. I want them out of the way and I expect the crew to make sure that is happening.
So Running In, you're just going to stand or sit and wait for the cabin crew to do something for you?
If you do that you become part of the problem, afterall there are people behind YOU trying to get out.
If you want to travel as a passenger on my aeroplane then you better accept the responsibility that comes with it. Or you're not travelling.
