It's good to have the punters fearing for their lives now and then. Maybe they'll give some thought to listening to the safety brief and not wearing flip flops and a singlet.
Maybe they'll remember it when the newspapers and employers are reporting greedy pilots want more money or leave the industry.
I wonder how much cash they'd have been willing to electronic transfer at that moment to have a guarantee of getting down safely.
I wonder if they'll think about how qualified and experienced their captain was and will they get another like him next time or go budget and chance it with the other lot(s) and some Navajo legend who didn't finish high school.
