Afterwards I'll buy everyone pickled eggs and booze.
Make sure it's Natty Lite or the Beast so my bowels can conjure up something nice and sulphury

Nice job, Mamma...you improved your grammar today. Now if we could work on your whole sucking theme...I guess you're a sore male flight attendant.
MD-10 will use slats with no trailing edge flaps for T/O on some occasions also.
If the flaps are not in the T/O range (or what you set in the FMS) you get Betty yelling..."FLAPS, FLAPS"

Embpic1, I gotta disagree with you on this one. If someone sees a fire before the crew, well good on them. But thats not what happens. Those hundreds of false alarms are just that, false. Useless and a waste of time. I didn't know an A300 routinely took off with no TE flaps so I learned something today. Pax get off the jet all the time with concerns and worries, well I would just as soon not hear them (although I do take the time to allay their fears or assure them that we will look into that "shimmy dampener that need s adjusting). Not once in my recollection has any one of them been founded. Do I hope that if the stars align perfectly and the guy/gal in 17C is the only one on the jet that knows we are in trouble and the cause, well then hell yes I want him to speak up. But..... I also want to win the lottery and that probably wont happen either.
I thought after the NWA accident in DTW it was a requirement to have an aural warning on transport category aircraft when the flaps/ and or slats are in a TO setting. I know every transport aircraft i have flown has it.
I have taken off in 767 with a flap setting of 1 degree. In the case of the Airbus, and the 767 the LEDs are extended. Maybe our hero should have looked for that.

I'm with pedro and mud eagle on this one. The chance that some numb-nuts with 50 hrs and a private ticket is going to save the day is remote at best. The chance that the same numb-nuts, with just enough knowledge to be persuasive to a layman, will unduly panic passengers is nearly a certainty.
