The only thing that has higher priority than MED 1 is another MED 1 in front; usually we give as much track shortening as safely possible and cancel all speed restrictions etc. Today 03:47
I thought I read somewhere that MED 1 wasn't the highest priority. A/C in distress or perhaps hijacking had greater priority over MED 1. When you think about it MED 1 might mean a single person is in need or urgent assistance, an A/C that could crash (for various reasons & therefore would be in distress) could have a possible result of many in need of urgent assitance.
Just mt thoughts that's all
