Forgive me for my simple slf interpretations but generally as far as I'm aware, if a large passenger aircraft crashes then everybody or most everybody on board dies. The crew don't get a choice to live, they take their chances with the rest of us. Therefore if the crew are willing to get on then I really don't worry about it, my risk is their risk and they're the ones with the informed decision. The captain did a fine job in keeping the passengers informed, I guess in any load there will always be a few with the 'soap opera' dramatic mentality.
