I lay the blame fairly with the airline advertising. "Don't waste time in the baggage hall " being one of the more recent campaigns. Obviously they're not going to want to underline the safety aspects. I clearly remember one occasion when a passenger collapsed mid flight and I was dispatched to fetch the kit.Opening the forward wardrobe to remove one of the O2 bottles I was less than pleased to find that I had to grappple with a couple of briefcases, a wheelie and whatever coats had fallen off the rail to access the bottle...meanwhile the passenger was rapidly turning blue at the back. Want to quibble about poundage ?...try attempting to save someones life knowing that you've wasted five minutes because of someone elses ignorance.
