BUT, if they didn't they were in the wrong - passengers should be kept informed.
So everytime I suffer an inflight defect I should tell all my passengers.
Is this so that they can all give me advice similar to the ill-informed and ignorant speculation on this thread? Or is it so that they can decide to get off having considered the implications which, of course, they would have little understanding of anyway?
Thanks for telling me, I shall bear it in mind.
