 But where the airlines were wrong was that they did not ask the black doctor for her credentials from the very beginning. She can probably get them for discrimination.

Well then she's legit to do so then.

It wouldnt have been discrimination because of her gender since the air steward was same, so whats left?

Thinking she wasnt competent enough, race? Who knows really what the womans personal motive was - guess for the courts to decide.

Along with my license, comes a small wallet sized credential. A validation of my medical license for my state. I dont carry mine but my husband carries his.

It would only be speculation that she has gotten an attorney but she is justified for getting a discrimination lawsuit.

They may first take a doctor, then a nurse and if neither one of them are available they would take someone with first aid credentials. Even a person who has  CPR and first aid credentials. It is very rare that they would not be able to find one of those who are somewhat qualified.

So are you saying the regular person has to show their basic first aid certificate before assisting in an emergency in the US?

Not so in Australia.

It appears so.

Yes, it may vary from airlines to airlines but that is usually the law. It also varies in other countries.

I'd be overruling that rule on flight if it was my family in dire straits - too bad if they left their credentials at home - just jump in and assist.

If it ends up worse case scenario, at least my loved one would have been helped in their hour of need.

Airlines are very strict when it comes to disruptive behavior. You might find yourself in more trouble than you anticipated.

If calling for assistance in an emergency is deemed disruptive by some US airlines, then so be it - Id rather have tried to save a life than sit there with my hands tied by red tape.

Yes, personally I think it is a waste of time. I think all personnel on an airline should be qualified to give CPR and first aid. I am sure that they have to take CPR classes.
