That's strange wording for something like this. Usually, they say "suffered a fatal heart attack" or something like that. What sort of "illness" kills you within a matter of hours?
What are they supposed to do if a passenger falls ill somewhere over the middle of the Pacific? Not lots of options there.
Beat me to it!........
Japan to NY would probably go over the pole. Even less options.....
Well that was strange.
Possible too. I think these cabins are mainly pressurized to ~10,000 feet.
All I know is that the Indians that AMEX outsources their customer service to are top notch.
The best of the best,unlike the Indians and Filipinos working for a most of the multinationals.
This poor guy passing is a shame.
All American multi national corporations need to start bringing the customer service jobs back to the US.
Recent advances in computer technology means that these are now jobs that competent retired people, housewives, and competent people on welfare can do.
AMERICA FOR AMERICANS!

“Dead Bankers update.”
Interesting...I guess the food on airplanes is not even safe if you happen to be in the class of people who are having “black” justice applied to them.
“What is the purported reason for all the dead bankers?”
I’d guess that it’s a serious fight between the buyers and sellers on Forex exchange. Yen buyers creamed dollar sellers last night, so expect more dead German bankers next week, unless the Swiss franc rises 4% the first week of June. If that’s the case, then look for at least 2,500 English High Street mid-managers hanging dead from Barclay’s 29th floor windows in London by the end of September. Libor manipulation will crash 55% then, adding an extra five bucks to your personal wealth.
Hope this helps. :-)
What did this man know that was worth his life?
I think that might be it. Deep vein thrombosis.
Sitting for hours on a plane can be deadly.
Possible blood clot from sitting so long. Always best to get and move around a bit wear pressure socks etc on long flights
LOL !
IIRC 10k ft is the max. Normal is 8k, and most keep 6k for comfort.
Is there a bad day to watch The Stand?
