different re. SQ. but it is a similar topic as in all Captains' decision making.
Smoke in the cabin, observed and reported , is a threat to any aircraft and passengers, in my opinion.
The industry needs a standardization, not left to information gathering post events. Not Weeks later.
Captain decides if to evacuate, in seconds and not weeks.he relies heavily on good and reliable information given to him.
This is interesting reading.
