Both could have been but ended safety.

Co the CC still size up and make a mental note on every flight of suitable pax who they ask to assist in the event of an emergency? Do they look at those in the exit row wile they do the specific "you are sitting in an exit row" briefing as to which pax they would call on per door if needed?

Speaking as someone who 99 times out of 100 is in the exit door row on a SH flight I can't say I've ever noticed. |
The one thing that strikes me is the need to get people to use the lavatory if possible before exiting the aircraft. And what happens thereafter? Do people simply wet themselves?

”Essentials....... barley sugars”. :D Although as others have said, a fairly sobering viewing. |

Surprisingly most of the ditching training is the same but the equipment is very different.
Are you able to share the equipment changes? Wasnt their also Polar kits in the 1970s for such flights? |

Fascinating video!

The survival packs and kits are very similar but the slide rafts are different.

They were for passengers and crew but not enough were loaded for everyone, how we were going to choose who was going to get them I cannot remember.

I visited the SAS Museet at Oslo 3 years ago.. it is excellent and I attach some pictures relevant to the Polar route

Ever wondered why CC still stand in the aisles while the safety video plays? They’re watching to see who’s paying attention. And that’s who they’ll be going to if the worst happened.

... And when you clasp your hands over your head in the brace position, do not interleave your fingers. Put one hand over the other, with your dominant hand closest to your head.
If on impact something breaks away and falls from the overhead locker striking your hand, then instead of getting broken fingers on each hand you will have your head protected and probably only get them broken in your less favoured hand! That should assist your escape. |
