Sudden twang... I stand corrected.
My original post was trying to point out that the cabin crew can be useful in emergency situations. Even after following this thread I still don't know everything that happened on the BA Glasgow flight and so my comments were meant to be more general. Maybe I was rising to Devil's Advocates bait after their post which seemed to imply we would just crumble into jibbering wrecks at the first sign of trouble.
Horns now pulled in.
