FAA bill would force the agency to craft 'real world' rules for airplane evacuations
If an airplane has to be evacuated, the Federal Aviation Administration says all passengers must be capable of getting out within 90 seconds. But critics say the agency's testing standards have not kept pace with the shrinking size of airplane seats — which means more people jammed into the cabin — or the changing composition of the flying public. U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth argues the FAA's current tests fail to take real world conditions into consideration. (www.npr.org) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I'd like to see a rule that if a person wants to delay evacuation and believes their luggage is more important than lives, we are absolved from criminal charges if we slap them upside their head and push them towards the evacuation chutes.
If they are in front of me on the way to an exit, I will be walking OVER them... one way or another.
I can get with that rule

@emk69: And this head first!
I think a reasonable compromise would be allowing carry-on pets to be taken with you. No way in hell I'd leave a cat or dog behind to burn or drown.
Then you can wait until the aircraft is fully evacuated, and then you and your pet can de-plane.
The reasonable compromise is don’t take your cat or dog on a plane
I take my dog on a train and he does not enjoy the experience
Animals need to know their territory and surroundings, leave them at home
The animals will get stressed and panic and many people could die
So no, your compromise is not acceptable

You endanger those behind you. I'm coming over or through you if I'm behind you.
