It's not like passengers pay attention to the safety briefing anyway.
Reporting back from my United ETOPS 739ER ride: I blanked out during the part of the safety briefing describing doors, so I can't describe what they said (yes, really...).
From the safety card:
Land based evacuation:
- All 4 doors, equipped with slides
- And 4 overwing exits (climbing down/sliding over the rear of the wing)
Water based evacuation:
- Front doors (1L/R), NO sliderafts, entering directly into inflated liferafts (2 liferafts located above the front cabin)
- Overwing exits, entering directly into inflated liferafts, over the front of the wing (2 liferafts located in roof of the middle/back of the cabin)
(No use of rear doors)
