In a perfect world it works that way, but this world isn't perfect.
But yes, you're right these were the worst pilots ever in the world and they should be fired. The best course of action when there is something sus going on in the cabin is to just keep trucking to your destination and ignore everything. Can't delay getting those New Balances on before you head to the Irish pub.
