So an exercise was run in a cabin trainer, to demonstrate how long it might be before word went from the flight deck to the cabin, beyond the 'at stations' announcement.
The outcome of this was some ruffled feathers among certain 'senior' cabin crew, who felt that they should be consulted immediately upon stopping, otherwise they would have to initiate an evacuation. Waiting even 30seconds being an eternity, and totally unacceptable in their opinion.
ps. Rog. Is that deepest darkest Darsit, or another one.
lol yes Dorset
The skipper told ATC he was doing an EVAC because they asked him what he was doing
