Low tech in a high tech fire is OK by me. High tech is fine too. Probability of failure just increases. I'm not against it, but you really have a gig against proven low tech available now.

I liked ejection seats to, but glad they had and taught manual bail out procedures for failures. To each their own.

LOL too
I have nothing against EVAS. Just said 2 seconds is much shorter than how ever long it takes to position then inflate the EVAS when the cockpit is filled with smoke. I'll take EVAS over nothing any day.
Thanks for you input though.
