TSO trainee Matthew Goodyear, during
his on-the-job training, searches a
passenger’s bag.
Trainee TSO Matthew Goodyear immediately began CPR on an elderly man who fell to the floor with an apparent heart attack at Akron-Canton Regional Airport recently.
Trained as an emergency medical technician, Goodyear was assisted by passengers in helping the man to start breathing again. A rescue squad arrived and took him to a hospital.
"Thanks to Matt's quick observation, situation assessment and expertise, the passenger was able to celebrate another Christmas with his family," said Rickey Jones, assistant FSD.
