Watching to much hollywood?
Crew did the correct thing. Buy them beers.
Something that sprang to mind when reading this thread:
Film Passenger 57.
Hijacker to flight deck "Who's in charge here?"
PIC "I am!"
Hijacker gives PIC double tap to head
Hijacker "So, once again. Who's in charge here?"
F/O "You are".
Crap film but relevant.
