I do think PC767's indignation at some of the pilots' comments illustrates their state of mind though. All that was said was that the flight deck should be informed of a medical emergency in case they need to divert the aircraft.

PC767 immediately bristles and says that they shouldn't have to contact the captain to dish out a paracetamol.

I don't think anyone said that, and it's indicative of the straw-clutching BASSA mentality that they will distort a perfectly fair comment to try and illustrate that they are hard done by.

I'm sure most reasonable cabin crew are more than aware of the difference between a minor medical issue (needing a plaster or an analgesic) and a bloody serious medical problem, and can decide what needs to be reported upwards and what doesn't. I doubt this has ever changed.

I wish they'd stop acting like spoilt, whiny schoolkids.
