Humble SLF with a question for cabin crew......At what point, if at all, would the decision be made to land at the nearest available airport as soon as possible, instead of diverting to the nearest airport with the best medical assistance?
That's not a question that should be aimed at Cabin crew since they don't make the decision to divert. If the Medical Professionals on the ground think a diversion is the best option in their opinion they'll discuss it with the pilots, but the decision to divert or not ultimately rests with the Captain.
