More cupholders than my minivan...


What are the handles outboard of the sticks?


They're the tillers ( if you mean the ones with the curve on top)
The ones on the windows unlatch the windows and then slide them back. So
you can lean out and shout at the ramp agent to hurry the hell up you want
to go home.

I thought it was so you could tip the guy with the dirty rag who runs
up and cleans the windows for you even if you don't want him to...
wait, that only happens in California.

It happens in Vienna and Munich too! First time I was there we pulled
onto chocks and bent down to pick up the maintenance log. When I sat
back up again there was a guy in my windshield! Scared the crap oout of
me!

The second of the emergency exits, I reckon. Should the floor exit
(behind the skip's seat) not be usable for some reason, the side
window panel can be opened to the outside using the handle you
mention, it looks like.


There's another hatch just forward of
the nosewheel with a ladder you can exit the airplane from


Agree.


Whew!

I passed.

Bertie


And here I thought they were to open the doors for the passengers,
just like on my old school bus. ;-)

Just think how you would have felt if saw this at FL350.

snag the gear, and climb up the left side outside my window. He knocked, and
I about croaked.
