Until you have actually survived and escaped from a large airplane crash you are in no position to second guess how people are going to react when this happens. I can't think of anything more vindictive than to fine someone who survives one for not reacting in the appropriate matter. If the FAA even tried to levy such a fine the uproar form the media and the American public would stop any such stupidity.
