I was delegated a big role at the time of emergency escape of ANA 468 flight, but the load was too heavy to me
Hello!
I’m Kota!
I translated my blog into English, for my friends who use English!!
But it was sooooooo hard for me, maybe this is the first and last time.
Please learn Japanese or help google develop translation system.
（日本語が分からない友達から、英語で書けとの要請があったので、一度Google translateを使ってやってみました。手直しなど、かなり大変なので、もうやりません。おそらく笑）
The other day, I went to Okinawa, one of the most beautiful islands in Japan.
It was family trip! Lovely my family~~💛
On my way home, I had a problem and came up with the solution to it!
So, I’ll write about it.
The title is,
"I was delegated a big role at the time of emergency escape of ANA 468 flight, but the load was too heavy to me"
In Boeing 777-300, my seat was next to the Emergency Exit Door
The plane we boarded this time was the aircraft called Boeing 777-300.
This aircraft with 514 seats has the largest passenger transport capacity among ANA's jet aircraft. (ANA is a short for All Nihon Airways)
The plane was filled with families who went to Okinawa as a family trip, just like me.
My family (me, my sister and my father) sat down on 11A, B, C.
It was exactly the seat which touched the emergency exit door, and there were no seats in front of us.
“Well, I can easily stretch my leg,
I can also face the pretty CA 💛(??),
How good this seat is!!” I thought.
But suddenly, the CA gave us a ridiculous command.
Please give me assistance in case of an emergency escape!
"Customers sitting in this seat, you are supposed to help our crews in an emergency escape.
Are there any unknown points with this notice? "
What? What? What?
Wait a moment!
First of all, what is “this notice”???
Then I found it!
The note was in the pocket of the seat.
"No no no!! I have not read it yet! "
I screamed in my heart.
"Oh, we have not read it yet, so can we see it now?"
My father said.
I looked through it.
Because of my impatience that keeps CA waiting, the contents hardly came into my mind.
And even though it was explained in words, it was hard for me to grasp the image of the actual action.
It seems that CA had been waiting for our reply forever.
Tentatively,
"I understand. It is all right."
I replied.
CA listened to our reply, and returned to work as if nothing had happened.
The door closed and the plane started to move to the runway.
I began to read the notes carefully again.
I am not confident in neither skill nor mental
- Keep other passengers away from the Emergency Exit Door until the crew member securely opens it.
- Follow the crew members’ instructions. Open the Emergency Exit Door after confirming the safety outside the aircraft.
- After the escape slide fully inflates, have other passengers evacuate as quickly as possible
- Assist other passengers after evacuating from the aircraft
- Direct other passengers to move away from the aircraft immediately.
- Others(Crew members will instruct other tasks when they are necessary)
Mainly, my mission was to instruct and guide other passengers.
Well, how do I make a proper action after landing on the water, while I and other passengers are upset?
In addition, as for No.2, I do not know how to open an emergency exit door.
Even if I have skills to carry out these missions,
I do not have confidence to play a part with responsibility in an emergency situation.
It's easily imagined that I escape first, without careing others...
In a situation in which the water comes into the craft,
why can I do such things like giving guidance to evacuate other passengers in the cabin?
Due to my incompetent emergency evacuation aid,
there will be confusion at the escape door, and some people may be delayed running away.
Because of me, the miracle of the Hudson River is no longer a miracle.
Oh, sorry.
Everyone of the passengers,
Close your eyes and remember, before this plane crashes and you become a person who will not come on the earth..
Emerald sea color,
Hibiscus' brilliant red,
The sound of the tradutional musical instrument in Okinawa,
A sense of being shaken by buffalo cars,
Gentle people ...
OKINAWA!!!
Problem presentation and proposal
This interaction with CA is too meaningless and they are to irresponsible.
This is not a tiny thing! It may affect human life and death!
Airways company may say
"CA explained in advance and she got confirmation."
well, IS TOO IRRESPONSIBLE!
So, what I propose is this.
Only passengers who have received evacuation guidance lecture can sit in this seat.
And the seat fee is set somewhat cheaper than other seats.
How!
In this way, the quality of the escape assistant will be better guaranteed than present situation.
If it costs a lot to operate the course, airline company can collect the course fee.
Still, it's OK if they set a proper discount amount so that profits will be given to people sitting frequently on this seat.
In addition, we, normal passengers respect the people sitting in these seats.
The person sitting in that seat feels our respect, and their desire to be approved will be satisfied.
Good!!.
I hope the air travel will be safer.
Finally, I will put nice pictures in Okinawa!!
