DCA Blondie Thanks for good advice and a very thoughtful reply. As a woman, I remember reading some time ago, not to wear high-heeled shoes and to wear clothes which are natural fibers. This, in addition, to your other points. Also, the pax should not consider for a nano-second grabbing a carry-on while evacuating the aircraft. I was, frankly, stunned at the photos in the papers this AM showing the AF pax standing next to their rollaboards
