Majority of pilots have degrees, been in the air force, and all of them are capable of maneuvering a large piece of machinery that float in the sky.
And they should have to take a course on the importance of keeping wounds clean, not touching people who can't feel their legs, and how to make a splint? Sounds to me like a complete and utter waste of time for this affluent bunch.
When's the last time you've seen/heard a pilot do first aid on a flight? I think they should specialize on getting the metal on the ground. Unless you're paranoid, safety shouldn't cross your mind at any point here.
