(I'm really, really not trying to defend Ryanair, honest!)
IIRC the programme said that two crew members believed the indicator showed the slide was u/s and that they informed the No.1 who took no action.
And you've just made the programme's point; if the reporter who had completed the training course is not qualified to determine if an exit is u/s, why on earth are they flying as crew?
