J seats have sure come a long way since the mid 1980's.
Bingo!! You win 50,000 imaginery Aeroplan miles!! The video was for a 747-200 Combi, but the interior shots were all done in an L-1011-100. Amazing how many customers noticed it at the time.

As far as #1 goes -- guess they should have subtitled it, "simulation only". Guess it wasn't feasable to have the crew jumping out of the aircraft!
