I agree with TheLearner.
If we didn't ditch, we wouldn't need emergency exits eighter...
On a Boeing 737 I think there are 6-8 exits, and they carry up to 240-250 pax.
I agree that the design might be wrong, and the exits that are incorporated should be bigger.
But the real focus should be what we could improve to avoid incidents, and accidents.
Our business is actually very fool-proof on paper.
We fly scheduled flights on familiar routes to familiar destinations, with enough(?) time to plan, we fly multi-crew, we have autopilots, and we have SOP's that cover most of the situations we could end up in.
The only bit of hands-on-flying is during take-off and landing. It should be very safe.
We haven't had any accidents in a few years in Norway, but we sure have had incidents that could have ended bad.
Is it lack of crew coordination? Do we have too many tasks on the Pilot Monitoring during T/O and LDG?
Should we finish all checklist-items at a higher altitude, so both pilots are fully focused during critical stages? Do we follow SOP, or do we take shortcuts?
