Mixture, yes it was a good job given the circumstances as described however as a pax it isn't good enough overall. If you don't agree then OK, but if the industry wants to improve the over all system responsiveness how can SAR assets be aided? Agree continuous realtime tracking isn't the answer but if you wanted to be able to get medical assistance where it was needed within say 18 hrs how could it be achieved? Seems little point in having rapidly deployable resources if it takes so long to identify where they are needed. As a pax I'll shut up now but the next time I read the safety card information on the slides utility as a raft on a transatlantic flight I'll be more sceptical than even now!
