Yeah -- if I recall correctly, a burning plane will be filled with toxic fumes in about 90 seconds, so a full evac needs to happen in that time. No time for dinking around with luggage for heaven's sake. Pull heads out of me-first land and think of those behind you dead. Simple conclusion: Exit the plane and don't screw around. What's to discuss? Lead, follow, or get out of the way.
