Is there a doctor on board???
Snas,
Thanks for posting those links to the UniteBA site - very illuminating!
I cannot believe the level of stupidity that these people are stooping too: "If there is a medical emergency on board the aircraft, any s*** crew WILL NOT BE ABLE TO LIFT A FINGER TO HELP."
What absolute rubbish! The explanation immediately below the statement explains that this rule refers to the administration of certain medicines only, and precludes any staff member who isn't trained to a specific standard.
How can anyone who is deliberately making misleading and emotive statements (like above) be allowed any where near a first aid kit - let alone be made responsible for the safety of members of the public?
