In all fairness the CC involved in the GRU heart attack followed their training and company SOPs. They did a fantastic job. They are not medical professionals trained and experienced in making quality of life decisions wrt when to stop CPR and the defib - they are taught to use the equipment and to follow a protocol. They did that and hats off to them it was well done.
The larger issue of whether they should defer to a cardiac surgeon on the day is one for BA to address. Events like this are always looked at afterwards to see if there could have been a better outcome - lessons are always learned. It may well be that BA's SOPS will be changed in the light of this incident.
The implication that the CC somehow knew better than the surgeon is just plain stupid, they did what they were trained to do - no more no less.
This is a side issue of no great import in this debate, and has little bearing on the issue of whether or not CC should be voting to go on strike. If CC genuinely feel that by striking they would be putting peoples lives at risk they would be morally reprehensible if they should vote in favour of a strike. I doubt that this is anything more than an attempt to muddy the waters and to somehow claim moral authority - which given BASSA's track record is both late and laughable.
