Following up on that - I should probably also say that when it's used as an emergency exit, i.e. when the door is armed, the tailcone gets jettisoned and an inflatable slide comes out. Part of the drill I referred to earlier to deploy this is to make sure the stairs (that are in this picture) are out of the way. The question was whether the MD's had slides - yes they do, one of which is at the back. But you're right - it is not being used in the photos.
