Overwing Exits and Frequent Fliers?
I'm a 'regular' flier. I always listen to the demos, and flightdeck chatter - see my BMI post elsewhere. On the subject of FF, I've been in enough lounges to recognise that half of them can barely walk to the plane, let alone open the door.
I've often thought, If I pull the mask, how hard do I pull it. What if it comes off! How heavy is that overwing exit door - although I'm sure if the **** hits the fan i'd be feeling so strong I wouldnt even notice. But worst of all, would I lose bowel control in that situation? I just dont know.
I've got MS flight sim, but it doesnt mean I can fly a plane.
So I'll leave the flying and pax care to those that do it for a living.

AR1,
If pax can barely walk to the aircraft then they're not fit to fly and shouldn't be allowed aboard.
Emergency exit hatch weight is around 38lbs / 17.5kgms.
BA brief just says "pull mask towards you". Iberia brief says "pull the mask strongly/firmly towards you", take your pick.
If you should lose bowel control please make sure you're first out
