In the event of an evacuation, who's job is it to open an emergency exit when the exit row is empty?
I'll be counting on the passenger in 17C to help out.

There are 4 f/a's on a 737-800. They will be seated at the 4 main doors.
In the event of an evacuation, I can't see any of them swimming upstream to the over wing exits.
