The problem for cabin crew at their door positions, is that the jump seats on the 767 are just a pull down flap that offers little protection from a severe landing or crash, compared to the padded comfort of a passenger seat. There is nothing to absorb the impact energy apart from the crew member perched there.
Accusing BA cabin crew of being "notoriously militant", or casting aspersions that the injuries were no more than some fraudulent and spurious whiplash injury claim, is a serious libel by Aluminium Shuffler.
As for the cabin crew using the incident to embarrass a management pilot, does seem rather far fetched. BA pilots are more than capable of embarrassing themselves, as the written off 747 in JNB is testament to.
