On the main topic, the article does look good for BA. They come across as an airline which is really striving to be a leader in safety rather than (as cynics would fear) doing the minimum to pass the regulatory requirements.
And maybe BAEC should identify those of us who are frequent exit row travellers and invite us onto this course so we really know what we would have to do in an emergency. I can't honestly say I'd relish going on the course or would pay for it, but if invited in that way I'd do it out of duty.
