Have flight attendants watched the same film shown to us, where a Delta B-767 has a small tailpipe fire in one engine, and after the Captain chatted on the Rescue radio frequency with the lead Fireman, decided that it was best to leave everyone on board while some halon etc was sprayed onto it, instead of having people jump onto long slides, risking broken bones?
Are pilot groups presented with certain options and info which the flight attendant Recurrent Training syllabi might not include?
Don't forget that after 9/11, an FA on a DC-10 which was loaded with people looking forward to their flight to Amsterdam, became anxious when she overheard people with foreign accents, used her cell phone to call her boyfriend far away and decided to use him to call Wash Dulles Airport Security while she, alone, initiated an evacuation without telling the pilots!
