Little more than a year ago. Have not regretted leaving that extremist outlet at all. And yes I am judging those who still think it is "just a social media app" like any other and keep posting there.

Opinion: Why airlines must ban inflight video calls (Totally agree. Inconsiderate, annoying behaviour) www.executivetraveller.com/news/why-air...
Why airlines must ban FaceTime, WhatsApp calls
Fast inflight Wi-Fi is wonderful, but it shouldn't turn the business class cabin into a flying call centre.

Great thread explaining all that is involved in a medical emergency. In all my years of extensive travelling I only experienced one medical diversion last year when flying BRU-IAD where we diverted to DUB. The amount of services involved (emergency, fire, maintenance) was quite a sight.

If you fly people around for a living then one of the most common emergencies you deal with is passengers in medical distress.
When someone is having a serious issue it becomes a team effort for the crew and our support staff on the ground.
