Or the warning not to take bags of any kind with you in an emergency evacuation could be part of the routine safety briefing
It's in every safety briefing I've heard in Aus. Yet a colleague was criticised once for allowing pax to evacuate (smoke in cabin on taxi out) with their bags.
Whilst I agree the pax are stupid for not leaving luggage behind. In a real evacuation, what is more likely to slow the process and possibly result in deaths;
- stopping the evacuation whilst the errant pax puts their hand luggage some where that doesn't further impede the other evacuating passengers, or,
- letting them out the door?
