When I was a volunteer paramedic, all of the drugs on our ambulance had
prescriptions on file from our medical director. I wouldn't be surprised if
the airlines had similar arrangements.

No, airline personnel aren't nearly as well trained as paramedics. Some
of the stuff can be used only if an MD can be found on the flight.
