Its easy to speak (post) after you read the article. But if you are at the back of the plane with that strong burning smell, hving no info/PA from the FD I bet many of you would have a different opinion.
IMO CC did the right thing. They had no ideea whats going on, they played it safe. Purser tried to get more info, couldnt, so she got everyone out. Better be safe than sorry.
situation wasnt catastrophic? well, there's a fine line here. what should they hv done? wait for the flames? many of you say now that it wasnt catastrophic but you werent there at that time to make the judgment without knowing whats wrong.
same old story. we are all brave and bright in front of the computer.
