Did you read my post? I did not excuse the flight deck crew from perhaps making a severely wrong decision with respect to their landing. But others on this thread have been slagging on AF cabin crew, too. I was only noting that in this instance, the cabin crew is viewed to have performed extremely well. And as you know, cabin crew are "here primarily for your safety."
