If anyone has access to these , could anyone post the real figures for a year's
a) Deaths
b) Use of defibrilator incidents
c) Use of forcible restraint on passenger
on BA ?
This because the talk of these things is so high-profile and mentioned so often that one would imagine the ideal CC recruit would be ex-special-forces with a medical degree and not as it really is.
@Eddy
I need to disagree with your earlier comments about the comparability of different jobs and CC. You say "
[QUOTE] VERY unlike all those other jobs. Very unlike it because a traffic warden can run away. As can a teacher or a shop worker. These people can call the police if they're threatened or an ambulance if they see someone who is ill. [QUOTE]
I think you are in a much easier position. You are in YOUR normal situation, with crew back-up and probably a dozen "volunteering"
pax as well and little worry about the law condemning you for using too much force on normally just one person.
Compare that to a teacher being threatened by a wild 16 yr old , knowing that allegations of assault and suspension until court-case are almost guaranteed and any help is long minutes away and the assailant is probably stronger, and possibly armed, too .
By the way, are you willing to tell us your willingness to strike as previously asked ?
