'smoke filled cabin'
where was that then. Sheesh. Passenger, nasty smell of burning. Worry. Expect CC to calm my nerves, crew are aware sir, nothing to worry about. Crew were aware and there was nothing to worry about, so what then happened ? Tell people to evacuate and suddenly you are not surrounded by fellow passengers but by Other People Who Are In My Way. As for not telling the FD: were the over wing exits used, engines off. Did this type require flaps to 40 degrees to assist slide off. Lucky, but career ending in my view.
