According to the Saskatoon Star-Phoenix,
The plaintiffs are also alleging that passengers did not receive direction or instruction from pilots or flight staff while the plane was going down.
"There was no warning or indication from the pilot or flight staff that there were problems during the crash; the passengers were left to fend for themselves in the chaos of the accident," the claim alleges.
Uhhhh....... Personally, I'd prefer the flight crew concentrate on flying the plane, keeping it airborne. Or if no choice, and to the extent they even had much control and time -- try to find a way to set it down that will increase survival chances.
In a crash just after TO, hardly time to aviate, let alone tell pax "Folks, I think we're about to crash. Thank you for flying Air Squish."
