If the cabin crew was aware of a passenger in distress or state of alarm or unconsciousness they should have notified the pilot of a medical emergency onboard to obtain priority in landing and ground assistance as well; in addition to using onboard medical equipment (defib) and page for a doctor or medical professional on board or initiate CPR or whatever means they had to assist the pax. The crew then, upon stopping, should make an emergency announcement for all passengers to stay seated until medical help could rush in for assistance. Everyone would have taken a seat for landing but then it would have been an emergency landing with a short taxi. Something is missing in this type of scene with AA. Did the crew even check on this passenger? Is it possible the passenger felt ill but said he was ok?
