So Fly320s and Jamis, is there a particular transponder code for dead crew on board?

Do most flights have AED on board? I assume so as they seem to be everywhere.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Yes for airliners. This has been a FAA rule since the early 2000's.  Not every cause of a heart attack is treatable by an AED.  V tach or V fib, two common causes of sudden cardiac arrest, are treatable by shock.

Yes but it's not necessary to switch transponder codes when you're under ATC services.  Declaring the medical emergency is sufficient.
A medical emergency not squawking an assigned ATC code would squawk the same as an emergency. 
7500: Hijack
7600: lost com
7700: inflight emergency

7600 is the most common.  Little guy trying to come into a tower for example, radio goes out, they squawk 7600.

Doesn't matter.  I don't divert for dead crew; I've got places to be.   >:D =D

That's how you end up with layovers in places like Scranton.

Maybe just carry body bags with parachutes attached?  Might work for anyone as long as someone is left to fly the plane.   =D

I guess someone will want to investigate.

Good idea; the Navy does it.

Parachutes are expensive.  Maybe just use some colorful ribbon.

Maybe just blow it up like a bouncy ball to absorb the impact
