did you hear about the 43 pax who refused to fly on an airliner out of ADN last week because there was fuel dripping off of the wing.
I bet they'd all watched PANORAMA too!!
My point about the civvy pax was - what the hell do they know?
Aloha Airlines, 1988, roof opening up, remember that. Some of the passengers noticed cracks at the side of the entrance door. but said nothing becuase they believed the crew knew best.

British Midland, 1989, engine failure and crash on the M1, remember that ? Some of the passengers and cabin crew felt that the crew may have shut down the wrong engine based on PA announcements and what they could see out of the window. They didn't say anyhting because they thought the crew knew best !

Ever read accident reports Camel ? and I don't just mean the RAF version. I remember someone once saying, that everyone involved in aviation should read as many incident/accident reports as they can.
