Did you ever participate in the evacuation drills? I saw them on tv once. It was horrifying to see people climbing over the seats on the wing exit doors Even more horrifying would be to have that happen on the CRJ's, where the aisle is like 30 incehes wide Fortunately, I try to sit in the emergency row all of the time when I am not upgraded to First.
