US Airways and NWA SAFETY INFORMATION card


















These are photos of the "A320 SAFETY INFORMATION" card I shot on my NWA A320 flight last week from GRR to MSP.
It is identical to the safety info card on my last flight on a similar NWA flight from San Juan (SJU) to DTW in January.
Both flights fly over water.
Note that in the event of a water landing, the card has the "circle with cross" over the wing exits.
It seems that NWA tells passengers that the only egress in a water emergency is from the tail and front exits.
But we now know that the wing exits were critical in saving lives on USAirways 1549.
And that opening the rear exit door was almost catastrophic.
Yet NWA tells its passengers and crew otherwise.
Anyone know why?
