Hi,
I thought that exit doors on the wings always should be manned(womanned ) during a flight.
Flew with SAS this week the 12 seats were empty.
Last year with Ryanair this was also the case but the cabin crew asked some people to move to the exit seats.
Safety question: always passengers at the emergency exit or not?

Re: Safety question
Most likely the Ryanair aircraft was full, so in order to avoid delay the cabin crew invited fit young passengers to the emergency exits iso "de bomma van 96 jaar" or the mother with her baby.
It's not a requirement during normal operations, in an emergency landing that's another case.

I can understand that those seats remain sometimes empty at Ryanair: the reservation fee is much higher than for other seats, re. legroom!

So when the captain says there is emergency then the cabin crew needs to shuffle people.
Increasing more panic...
Strange that the international laws don't look after this.
Offcourse airlines see these seats as a extra profit but this shouldn't be.
Safety is everything in the air.
