This has been discussed here before, generally that at one of the airline "open days" they do for their elites in some programmes at their training base the attendees could have a go on the evacuation training simulator, and it then be noted on their profile so they get first chance of the exit seats.

Of course many aircraft already carry passengers with such skills, in the form of deadheading pilots and FAs, or those from other airlines who are passengers. But if they were given the exit seats first (and personally I think they should be) I think there would be a bit of an uproar here !
