Where to start?

FA in charge? So from that video you were able to determine that the evac order came from the FA and not the cockpit? Impressive.

4 minutes to do anything ? Of course, you're right, they were up there playing sudoku. There's no chance they were unaware of the fire and didn't want to pop the slides for what could have been nothing more than a blown tire.

All our flights full? Yes, every flight on every day is stuffed to the gills. No exceptions.

All in all, a nice, rational post.
