G'day Kap. Yep, absolutely sure. It is different for a precautionary disembarkation where the Captain nominates the slide/door to be used but on an evac, the door primary is considered the best judge of whether the door is 'safe' to open or not. Again, you want everyone off as quick as possible and nominating a side (which a crew member may assess as NOT being suitable for reasons unknown to the tech crew) can cause all sorts of ramifications. Besides that, I thought it was a Boeing procedure?!?!? I'll have to follow up on that one!
Still, great job. No major injuries is just fantastic.
