I know that the Comair crash has been discussed quite thoroughly, but I had a hypothetical question my brother and I were discussing.

Say that a private pilot (or someone who knew quite a bit about aviation) was a passenger on the plane that crashed and this particular person was very familiar with KLEX. While taxiing to the departing runway, this person notices that the pilots have mistakenly lined up with, what he knows, as the wrong runway.

What could one do in this situation? Could he inform the FA so that he/she could inform the pilots? Would the FA, pilots listen to this person’s concern?

I just thought it would be quite a predicament to be in. I’ve flown many times out of any airport I’m very familiar with as a passenger, and I wonder sometimes if the pilots lined up with the wrong runway, what I would do in that situation.

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Just a curiosity thing I guess.
