Now you have to explain why you deployed the slides which is VERY high risk and almost guaranteed to have a broken ankle or two on a plane full of passengers. I don't see anybody questioning the decision to divert.

So pilots deploy the slides? Wow, what a weird airline. Guess I'm glad I don't work there.

I’m not questioning the decision making of the crew. Maybe they fully assessed the situation; searched the aircraft and contacted operations, who then spoke to corporate security, who then advised them to evacuate if no other method for deplaning was immediately available.

My point is no one on this thread was there, and no one got hurt. Stop second guessing the crew.

In the airline world evacs are initiated from the cockpit in case you didn't know. You can ask during your next recurrent if you don't believe me. It is part of the checklists and everybody, including the flight attendants, are trained on it. Unless I hear otherwise that is what I am going to expect what happened. The only time in the past when a passenger or FA initiated an evacuation without orders from the cockpit there was always fire or smoke involved. As far as I know there were none in this case.

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.
