DAL 727 out of Dallas and NWA DC-9 out of DTW. Wonder what would have happened if our private pilot would have spoken up and the FA's called the flight deck. Heck, the pilots are all ex-military fighter jocks, they need no help from anyone.
Your ending comment is out of line for anyone in our profession. Sounds like you have a big chip on your shoulder that you should deal with. Aside of that, the DC-9 allows for take-offs with zero flaps at times. I have done them on hot days. Should I announce it to the entire cabin next time I do one to alleviate any fears? Or should I just wait for the FA to call me to see if I know what I am doing? Where does it all end?
The good old F100 that AA and USAir used to operate could take off without trailing edge flaps....and it didn't have slats either.....
This caused at least a few USAir pilots to have near heart failure while deadheading.

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.

Jagshemash,
On Detoilet Maddog crash flew by Ninja with Attitudes, the takeoff config warning was installed but did not work but investigators not know reason and never figure it out.

On another note, I wonder what Al Haynes would think of this thread?
