I think the captain should put himself (herself) in the passengers shoes. Passengers are every bit as scared as those in the flight deck, but everyone wants to see a return to normalcy. When the captain of a flight decides that all passengers must remain seated, that no passenger can enter the forward galley, and that a beverage cart must block the cockpit door, the passengers get the illusion that the captain doesn't feel that flying is safe, and then how could a passenger possibly think that flying is safe? So the passenger gets back on the ground, tells all his (her) friends about the captain's actions, and then the friends decide to stay home too. When I get back in the skies next week, I'm hoping for flying to be as similar to the pre September 11 days as possible.
