Stupidest thing I ever saw a passenger do here was eat the sushi from the Moscow caterer. Cats would have fled in despair.

Back seat in the B727, layovers at the old Royce Hotel next to PBI, I got miserably sick from something every trip for 2 months. I was brushing my teeth with Perrier and still getting sick. Next morning, just outside the Wilson bridge, landing 36 at DCA, I tell the Captain, "panel's good for landing, I won't make it" and duck into the 1st class lav. Didn't see the landing but I did get the APU started clearing the runway.

I think this a judgement call you get the big bucks for making. Both a landing and a go around could be reasonable, depending. Coming out of a long hold, getting close to divert fuel, weather at the mins, land. CAVU at ICT, only traffic around, maybe land, maybe go around the pattern. The danger I see, is the pax standing in aisle having not understood the touchdown and getting sent into another pax or a bulkhead when you hit the brakes to make a turn-off, you not knowing where they are. The lawyers here might be the biggest danger.

The FA, while wrong saying "go around", might have been reasonable informing the Catain of the situation, let him decide and letting him know.
