Our fleet includes a mix of A321 and A320 a/c with a 'common' checklist handbook on board both types. In an emergency you have to remember to check the MSN at bottom of the page before commencing actions...otherwise you could be doing an A321 drill on an A320 and vice versa. The MSN's are printed in microscopic digits at bottom of each page...I think it's criminal and irresponsible and will one day result in a major f*** up. The differentiation is of particular importance when figuring out the non-normal Vapp!!

As to the engine shutdown thing. Our SOP is that the CCM's have unilateral right to decide on an evac in the event of an emergency. As a result the procedure is to shutdown after a 'high speed stop' in order to prep for a crew initiated evac!! Forget about taxiing off anyhow...I'm inclined to sort myself out first and bugger the rest of ya!
