I think we'd be having a similar discussion if a door opened unexpectedly during flight.

The passengers have no idea there are no pilots around when things don’t go as expected

What if the plane is mid flight?

The pilot might not have given the true reason to passengers.

Weren't the pilot(s) on board still?

I would have thought they would require fly attendants.

I'm not sure that's of much comfort to the passengers on the plane.

Wouldn't they notice the extra turbulence affecting their legs?
