Have you ever had to deal with something you're absolutely not trained for?

When you're 38,000ft in the air, the cabin crew member is the one person everyone turns to to deal with an issue. Most of the time we're trained for it! Fire in the cabin? We trained for that! Violent passenger? We trained for that! Medical emergency? We trained for that! Mental health emergency? Oh boy... not really trained for that!

People from all walks of life board that plane, so once in a while the crew are expected to deal with a situation that they're not fully trained for. But as they are usually the type of person who just wants to help, no matter what, they will jump on in and hope they do the right thing.

In today's episode of The Red Eye podcast, we tell the stories of the true events that happened to our host and producer, Ally. Who happened to be the person left to deal with 2 separate mental health crises, and wasn't the type of person who would turn her back just because they aren't completely sure what to do.
