JQ Passenger opens emergency door at MEL

Yet why the ,"episode" at that particular time? Seriously, I hope the airline sends him the bill.

Who knows. Sounds like a mental health issue. The trigger may be uncovered by the doctors. Could have been people standing up. Or the passenger being told to sit down. No one was hurt, that the main thing. It’s only money.

Obviously just couldn’t wait another minute to get off the flight from Bali?

Overwing on 737s don't have slides

When i was in a QF 737 last time in Y near the overwing exits, the CC would come through and seem to flick a hidden switch at the bottom of one of the seats. What was i seeing?

The seat recline lock.

Seats that back into the overwing exit row space will be locked for takeoff and landing to prevent recline (and potential blocking of the exit).

And very rarely ever released during the flight either ...in my experience.

I can remember back in the day when I flew W-E-W a lot for work (on AN) and if I couldn't get an upgrade choosing exit row seats. I often had to ask the first FA who walked past after the takeoff seatbelt sign was turned off to unlock it. It surprised me how often they forgot to do it as a matter of course.

I’ve seen clearly an experienced passenger u lock it themselves
