Well… we’ve only heard one side of this story so far and there are 2 sides to EVERY story.I think it is strange that Woody talks about it for an hour and people want him to answer more questions.
Woody told us exactly what he did, but presumably people feel they need to know WHY he did those things.
Yet, nobody is calling for DAN to answer some of the most basic questions raised in the video:
Like: do you have to fill out and complete an on-line form before any help will be provided? How does that work if you are on a boat from a sat phone?
Is it really normal to expect a delay of 24 hours or more to move somebody when they are a 45 min flight from a metropolitan region of the US?
Is it really going to take DAN 48 hours (or more) to secure oxygen for a medivac flight?
Will DAN not secure a chamber for an injured member even if the treating doctor indicates the patient has neurological problems and believes that the patient needs to be recompressed?
These are all policy issues, seems like they could be verified or refuted or clarified. Are all those real policies?
Those are some of the issues that were raised that DAN really should clear up - since they are policy issues and are not necessarily or directly related to this particular incident. They can and should answer without compromising any privacy issues.
I (actually) signed up for an AMEX Card tonight, but when it was finalized/approved, they issued me a credit limit of $1000, a lot of good that did!
Also, they said they were going to release the transcripts and have a discussion with DAN’s CEO and share that… so, I’d guess most of us are waiting to see what comes out of that.
My personal experience with DAN has been positive so far - granted, I’ve never needed a emergency evacuation but had an equalization injury that required a consult and ER visit in a foreign country and they were super helpful - so I am interested to hear the complete story before I formulate any judgements or look for other coverage.
