Thanks and understood,

I just thought they would have by default, i can understand on passenger carrying craft, because you could not really abandon the craft, but at least with freight, if the grounds clear, once your desisions made, you would only have to try get to an exit.

am with this guy

Used to fly the Electra on cargo flights. We had a loadmaster who carried a small parachute. He was ex 2 Para. and reckoned he could get out of the rear door after climbing over the cargo in an emergency.
mmmm, i suppose just as interestingly, are they allowed ( crew to carry them ) on large passenger aircraft . ?

Lol, reading this ( http://www.pprune.org/rumours-news/5...oney-bags.html ) i was thinking how much in the bag to be worth doinjg a cooper ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D._B._Cooper )
