Jetblue LGB-AUS engine failure

Wait, why is there a switch back there for that at all?

(I know you can pop the doors manually and so on, but it looks like they're all down. Every smoke and fire procedure ever: "DO NOT deploy the passenger oxygen masks.")

There isn't.

I think some of hte reports said something about the cabin crew manually deploying the doors.

I'm extrapolating, of course, but I wonder if the passengers are going to pull a "Cain Mutiny" next smoke event when the masks aren't deployed based on what they read on their Facebook pages.

"But they let me do it on my other flights!"

(1) It's The Caine Mutiny.
(2) It was not, in the book at least, actually tried as a mutiny. The movie (somewhat to Herman Wouk's dismay) took certain liberties to, well, be a movie. It fell under the general article of the (then) Navy Regulations - that is - conduct prejudicial to good order and discipline, as Lieutenant Maryk took great pains to stay upon legal ground in the irregular relief of Lieutenant Commander Queeg. The difference is probably not well explained without that sentence, and they cut that scene (if indeed they ever shot it) in the ComTwelve legal office from the film.
 
RE: The Caine-

My parents had started that movieone night, and called me downstairs when I finished my homework so I could watch it with them. This was while I was in elementary school (I'll let the reader decide how recent that was) and I decided what the hell. One of the MANY things about that movie that stuck out to me -- and continue to be crystal clear in my head -- was Barney Greenwald's monologue near the end of the film. Phenomenal bit of acting, and I thought, "if I can be half that confident while speaking, I'm sure I'll do just fine."

Oh yeah, it's a phenomenal movie. The book is even better, though. Would recommend to all of you for those, er, long airport sits.

Id realistically say for about the first ten years of working at an airline, I never thought pax would just do crazy things on their own. I imagined them waiting for instructions, but I've come to the realization that everyone is different, not everyone has got it going on in their heads, and some people don't follow directions at all.
