    No spoilers deployed...id guess they're stowed during the evacuation checklist though to let pax go over the wings if required?

    They would have stowed when the T/R levers were returned to idle.

    Ah. So once armed you dont touch the lever again, they deploy and retract themselves?

    No you don't have to. It's to help the pilot in the event that he would have to abort the landing after touching down. The spoilers will stow when the T/R levers are returned to forward thrust. The same in the case of an RTO. Once the pilot pulls reverse thrust the spoilers will deploy.
