Narrative:
On dec/wed/03, during cruise and descent into mgm, the flight attendant called up to say she had some smoke in the cabin. I asked her 'how thick' and she said she 'could see the back wall.' we started our descent into mgm. We landed without incident. On the ground, a maintenance person met me at the bottom of the stairs. I gave him a verbal brief on the smoke in the cabin during descent. I went back to the cockpit to write it up, but was distraction by events. We left the airplane in maintenance hands, left for the hotel.
