A BA insider claimed there were 'no reported underlying health conditions' in both the crew members who died.
Speaking of the double-death blow, a source told The Sun said colleagues were in 'shock and disbelief'.
'It has been a traumatic festive period for BA’s flying team. Everyone is deeply upset,' they said.
Paying tribute, British Airways said the company's thoughts were with the families of the fallen colleagues.
An official cause of death for both crew members has yet to be determined.
Our clinic has its share of flight attendants. I had no idea how beat up they get. One thing I learned from them is that, if you fly a lot, it's important to use hyperbaric oxygen therapy regularly to counteract the effects of being in a negative pressure environment for extended periods of time.
Interesting! Did not know that.
I thought the plane was pressurized like a hyperbaric.
It is pressurized, but only to the extent that the passengers and crew are comfortably breathing and living. The net pressure is still negative at cruising altitude.
