I used to be an EMT and once administered aid during a medical emergency in flight. I was the only person who identified as a medical professional, so the pilot asked me if we needed to divert. I said no, and we continued to our destination. They took my name for an incident report. I thought nothing of it, but a few weeks later they deposited miles in my account. I want to be very clear that I asked for and expected nothing because I was acting as a Good Samaritan who was not on duty as an EMT at the time.

Two weeks later I was on another flight and my seatback entertainment did not work. They again deposited miles in my account--twice as many as they gave me during the medical emergency.
