I cannot comprehend making portions of the cockpit liquid free zones and #@$# happens. Recall pictures of cabins after severe unexpected turbulence where debris is scattered cabin wide. The cockpit needs to be liquid free period or design specialized containers that are completely leakproof unless in the person's mouth ala containers developed for space. I fail to comprehend how pure condensation water will not be a problem as water flowing over materials will collect contaminants. Even dust can do the job. Will Delta and Airbus support the obvious aviation film to result from this event? Is a large portion of the A350 fleet now grounded due to Coronavirus or have they been repurposed? I'm thinking of my home airport MSP and their A350 to Shanghai but there are so many Delta A350 flights from DTW and ATL.
