American Airlines Incident: Hero or Hindrance? Passenger Actions on Flight 2045 Spark Debate
Oliver Jankai, a passenger on American Airlines Flight 2045 evacuating to Miami on Friday, likely had a weekend he won’t soon forget. Whether he acted heroically, posed a hindrance, or a mix of both remains uncertain. (www.airguide.info) More...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
People can be over-trained. I had to take a safety quiz to be allowed to continue volunteering at the aviation museum at our airport. Question #8 read “Can a volunteer use safety equipment that they have not been trained on or authorized to use?” I answered ‘yes’, which the supervisor said was wrong. No, Rick, I was told, you are never allowed to use equipment you have not been specifically trained to use. I said that even though I had not received the required special training, I would use a fire extinguisher if I saw a guest on fire. The supervisor said that the correct action would be to find a trained staff member. Go figure.
I would like to see that supervisor on fire, and telling you not to use the fire extinguisher but to go and get someone "Authorized" to use it!

They were told, no extinguisher was available.
How could any flight prepare to take off without a fire extinguisher on board?
You weren't over-trained, you were under-trained and over-managed
