A couple years ago at Great Lakes year 1 FAs made more than year 1 FOs. Their contract was arbitrated by judge that saw they didn't make enough, yet pilots will never get higher pay due to RLA.
(Before the fact checkers go nuts, this was before the last pilot pay raise when they added 135 flying and I am NOT saying FAs didn't deserve more......pointing out how horrible pilot pay situation is when even a judge can see FAs are underpaid)

If there were no FAS in the back, I'm pretty sure it'd be all right. The FA on the Hudson plane sitting in the back (the one the other 2 wouldn't speak to in all the interviews) did a great job of securing the back!!
Have you heard of Neerja Bhanot? Probably not.

She was as brave and as competent as you could ever dream of being. In this situation, I can see you cowering in the corner and peeing your pants.
Tell you what, just fly the plane and leave the thinking to those of us with at least average intellect.
BTW; No, I am not an FA

Plus the passengers would probably prefer that also.
BTW; FA's aren't there for your viewing pleasure.

That is what the job market dictates whether you like it or not.

I don't even think the FAs believe our job is as simple as you seem to.
Also, why don't you think pilots should make more money? What's it to you? Are you also against raising the minimum wage? I bet you aren't.

It's advice I forget myself periodically.
