Are you not being hard on the wrong aircraft there?
The 225, and especially the newcomers 189 and 175, have fat bar steward sized escape windows everywhere.
I am not a fan of the window size in the 92 or the middle section of the 332 in spite of what maxwelg2 tells us. The distances to good-sized escape window in a 92 has always concerned me. Then there is the 332 door jettison farce and the door-mounted liferaft.
(My favourite seat in a 332 is still starboard window 2nd row in spite of this. From this location I hope to be able to see the look on the co-pilot's face as he turns to the captain.
