Has anyone ever died on board one of your flights?

Ian Pullin (Retired British Airways Pilot) gives expert video advice on: How much can a successful airline pilot earn?; Do you sleep on a very long flight?; What happens if a passenger becomes seriously ill in mid air? and more...

We only had one passenger who died on a long haul flight, and we were on a rest period at that time. It was very traumatic for the crew because he was a huge guy. There was a little cabin service director who was a trained nurse, and she dealt with it all brilliantly, but unfortunately he died at no fault of the crew. I think he was something like an 18 stone, and she was a 10 stone lady. Five foot four tall, but she dragged him into the aisle and dragged him down the aisle all by herself - the adrenaline was pumping. They got into the galley and did all the defibrilation procedures they could. unfortunately he didn't survive.
