No, I mean the stage in front of that. If you evacuate by waiting in the evacuation line, you are still rational.

Yes, but again, with actual training being unpractical; that's pretty much all you can do.

I mean I can just enroll in a helicopter crash training (that's just off-shore work certification, but open to anybody), but you can't for an airliner.
