Peter G-W,
On our A/C the cabin evacuation CMD push buttons (on both FAP and Aft FA Control Panel) are guarded by a spring loaded plastic cover. As an aside, the plastic cover on the AFt FA EVAC CMD button is over 1/8" thick, why it needs to be so thick is anyone's guess.
On an tangent, I find it interesting that is seems many operators leave the cockpit switch in the CAPT position. I am not making a judgement on it whether good or bad. Each carrier has many, many years of operational experience (ours over 90 years, and we recently merged with another carrier which had been in existence for almost 90 years, they brought their own operational history - I could write a book rivaling the length of Gibbons as we tried to merge the two...)
