Dying on a plane is less likely than dying in a plane crash {Gadling}

I think one problem is that most flight crews have not had basic CPR/First Aid. I've been on a flight where someone had a diabetes attack and they had no clue on handling it. I put a packet of sugar in his mouth from across the aisle while strapped in on descent...
I was on a long flight last year from Guam to Hawaii. An older man had a heart attack and died, even though he had at least 2-3 docs, nurses and more jump up from the passengers to try to help. Again the crew kind of walked around in a daze with no idea on what to do. They ended up wrapping him in blankets and leaving him in the center row. Pretty surreal. Again there was nothing they could of done for him, massive heart failure.
But I am amazed at the lack of simple first aid training of the flight crews.
