total loss of situational awareness, which could have lead to disaterous consequences if the cabin crew did not enquire as to when they were going to land...
Do you really think that or are you making second degree humor ?
"Cabin crew avoid disaster!" will be the next headline I guess....
Sorry to digress guys, but years ago FAA had relieved ATC of responsibility if pilots readback the wrong instructions or clearances.
The US controllers here are big enough to answer that one, but reading the NTSB preliminary report of the Hudson river collision , it would seem that not picking up a wrong frequency read back had some consequences for the controller.
