In response of rafaelc378:
We all do Intensive training flight deck and cabin crew. Depending on what airline training can include actual drops into water for survival skills, some are done in simulators ( a real aircraft that is set to hydraulics that crews participate in various and unknown scenarios that include dense smoke and others including pressurised doors and other events using people as being hurt, in shock and things too much to describe, but next time anyone is on a flight and thinks of the flight attendant being a waitress in the air, think again we are trained for emegency of any kinds in the air, on ground and or in the water.
And same goes to when people think all a pilot does is sits up front pushing buttons, think again is all I have to say this is a very good example of what Flight Crews are made of and represent what could have been more of a disaster wasn't due to the crew as a whole as the flight deck knew what to do as the initial point of action and the cabin crew knew what to do when it became their corse of action.
This comes from a Stewardess whoms husband is a Pilot...
All the best to everyone
