Airlines and SARS (a.k.a. atypic pneumonia)

Post by sn26567 »

The union for U.S. airline flight attendants on Thursday demanded immediate precautions be taken to protect flight attendants from the deadly SARS pneumonia virus, including distribution of latex gloves and masks.

The Association of Flight Attendants (AFA) said it sent a letter asking the Federal Aviation Administration to issue an emergency order requiring airlines to provide the gloves and masks to the flight attendants, or at least allow them to wear their own.

Is our Bart going to ask the same at SN BA?

A flight attendant on a Singapore Airlines flight between New York and Frankfurt on March 14 was infected with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome.

I was personally flying from FRA to BRU on LH last Tuesday night, not far from a group of Chinese. On arrival at BRU at the baggage carousel, I saw on their baggage lables that they had transited through SIN, where a sixth person has just died from SARS.

And I don't feel very well myself... :?
