- Man Dies from Suspected Heart Attack on Qantas Flight | April 16, 2012
See, this is why flight attendants used to be trained nurses!
And another guy just died today on a flight of a heart attack!
Yikes, just a string of bad luck i suppose. Crews are supposed to have all the equipment necessary for reviving passengers- i guess they lack the know-how?
I’m not sure how much training they require…do you?
I think a lot actually- they’re supposed to be able to do CPR and use the “paddles” to jump people back to life. They’re aboard every aircraft. I have heard of cases where the F/A’s used the paddles and revived passengers having a heart attack… i guess it’s not common though LOL
