Do you think that if the flight crew escaped uninjured after the crash that they would be concerned about flap position for an emergency exit ?????
Easy tiger. There's no need to get worked up.
To answer your question - Yes, if the crew had escaped the impact uninjured or injured, they may have performed some of the evacuation checklist. Which, as I'm sure you know, often involves a specific flap setting other than the one used for takeoff.
Given the forces involved I think it's unlikely. However, I was curious about the disagreement between the flap settings. Now that you understand the point, do you have anything to offer ? (Apart from banging your head against a wall).
