I consider myself to be one of those genuine pax you're speaking of, and this crash hasn't altered my opinion of pilots and safety one bit. I know I have more to fear from the average idiot on the highway.
The FA stepping in for a pilot leaving the flight deck seems to be working fine in the US, and it might provide a small deterrent in some cases.
Better screening might help as well.
After all, every little bit helps - and as someone up-thread mentioned, air safety is a work in progress.
