On AA 1460 from SAN to DFW tonight and just need to vent.
About an hour before landing, the FAs asked if there was any medical personnel onboard for a passenger in first class. Clearly something serious enough to warrant the call.
We land in Dallas and pull into the gate at 8:16pm. Everyone stays seated, waiting. And waiting. It’s now 8:33pm before paramedics finally arrive on the aircraft.
I’m honestly shocked by the lack of urgency. If there was a known medical situation well before landing, how were EMS not already there waiting at the gate? Those minutes matter.
Maybe there’s more going on behind the scenes, but from a passenger perspective it felt incredibly unprepared.
