Here is his post in full. Interesting to see the emerg from the other side

THANK YOU!!! For those of you who have been sending your thoughts and well wishes, please know that it’s greatly appreciated. I was the First Officer on #3343 who suffered a sudden cardiac arrest. As most of you already pointed out through your comments, my fellow crew members did a phenomenal job in taking care of me and getting the plane on the ground as quickly and safely as possible. Additionally, the airline, air traffic controllers, airport staff, EMT’s, and various hospital and medical staff also did an outstanding job throughout the event and subsequent medical treatment process. Because of all of their efforts, I’m alive and well today.

Needless to say, I am incredibly fortunate to have survived this event and have essentially made a full recovery. All of this is due to the heroic efforts of the other pilots and so many other great people along the way. While I am currently no longer able to hold a valid FAA medical certificate, I am working with a variety of medical experts in addition to undergoing various testing and treatments to try and pinpoint the underlying medical issue and treat it. Of course, it remains to be seen whether or not we will be successful in that endeavor (along with being medically cleared to fly again). However, I am otherwise completely healthy and able to go about my life without any restrictions or limitations (aside from flying planes). I now belong to a community of people in this world who live with an implanted defibrillator and pacemaker, which ensures that if another cardiac event or issue does occur, I will have every chance of surviving.

Overall, I simply cannot give enough praise to the captain and other first officer, whom I credit with saving my life. Additionally, I am grateful for all of the doctors in the Moncton and Saint John hospitals along with Delta airlines and many other people really who went above and beyond in helping/supporting me and my family. Also, thanks to the group at VASAviation for putting together the video and to the individual who recorded the ATC audio. Lastly, thanks to all of you for your kind words and well wishes!

Glad it turned out with a happy ending! I'm guessing a Passenger 777 is pretty rare for YQM?

I've flown in moncton. The airport traffic is primarily non-english speaking students in DA-20's (most times 4-6 in the circuit at any time) with the odd commercial or cargo flight coming in on an IFR approach. I would love to have heard the tower audio with tower telling all the students to get the hell out of the way for the 777 coming in.
Glad the FO made a full recovery though!

That captain is a fucking hero

[u/andyhenault]

Well that’s at least one good reason to go to Moncton.

nice

What's with the reluctance for an emergency to be declared at the onset of the entire event? Or did I miss a transmission?
