NEW YORK — An American Airlines passenger died after a
flight attendant told her he couldn't give her any oxygen
and then tried to help her with faulty equipment, including
an empty oxygen tank, a relative said.
I'd say you're really grasping at straws trying to blame this one on
the
FAA.


Reduced and pencil whipped Federal safety inspections ring a
bell?

I must have missed the class where they said the FAA is responsible for
inspecting the medical condition of passengers.



Oxygen tanks and required safety equipment on commercial airlines is the
responsibility of FAA inspectors and the airlines.

I was referring to required safety EQUIPMENT not medical diagnosis.
American Airlines is claiming their equipment worked fine. Now the finger
pointing begins.

This flight carried 12 medical oxygen bottles onboard. Are you saying all
12 were empty or faulty? Are saying the crewmember did not know how to
operate the oxygen bottle? Have you ever flown on an airliner?
