I couldnt believe it when i saw the news this morning.As cabin crew every year I dread my recurrents because of first aid as its not one of my strong points.However I do feel confident that I could perform life saving duties such as cpr etc due to the training I have received from various airlines over the years of which a large percentage of the general public couldnt.Airlines have different medicines in their first aid kits including injections of which we are not permitted or trained to use.If we were then I think we would like to be payed more or may aswell become a nurse, doctor or paramedic! These type of medicines are for the use of certified medics of which are often hard to find onboard because of fear of being sued.I have not experienced a life threatening emergency but know of crew who have saved lives due to their training.I may be biased but I think crew do a brilliant job for the crap wages they receive!
