Pilot asks pax to vote on whether to take-off with faulty engine
It's been reported that on an EasyJet flight out of Malaga, one of the pilots asked the passengers for a show of hands as to whether to attempt a take-off with only a "50/50 chance" of both engines working!

If you read the linked article, you may arrive at this conclusion.
Sounds like they had a hung, or maybe even a wet, start, and were then left pushed back with one engine running and needed to shut down, wait and then attempt a re-start, with the inevitable delay that would create from missing their slot, etc, etc. My guess is the question asked was probably would the passengers want to sit on board for a while whilst they tried to sort things out, or would they prefer to disembark and get a later flight. |
