Don't forget to factor in cost of lawsuits from everyone that jumps down the slide and hurts themselves.
If it was done out of impatience and not an emergency I would think the airline would be liable and probably the pilot too.

8 hours on airplane without water or lavs. I could consider that a possible emergency.....single file line, real slow now.....jump. Can't tell me, that capt couldn't come up with something in the 7 hours sitting on the ground....really?!?!?!?

Just open the door, sit on the bottom and jump out. Not THAT high is it? Most could get off unless they were disabled.

Uhhh... yeah, it is. That's why there's a slide in the door.

I'll pass on the 10-foot drop onto icy concrete, thanks.

I thought it was soft fluffy snow!

I would have gased up and flew back to FLL.

How about a catering truck?

Oh yeah. He asked for one but they wouldn't send it.

Soooo as captain, give your blessing to popping open the slide and telling pax they're free to leave - down the slide - into a blizzard and a foot of snow - at night - on an icy tarmac. Good luck with that.
