Fair minded? Sandy must have had his head firmly down a hole for the past few weeks. Just about every jurisdiction has been publishing rules/regs/guidelines for crews when overseas. He went to a country that had a 14 day self isolation rule for passengers on top of all of the other guidance and rules that were no doubt being disseminated to him before his departure from DBX. He wanted to go and have a pint and grab some dinner but made the mistake of picking the wrong bar in the first instance. It doesn't matter one iota about any exemptions for crews - this is common sense and human decency. NZ is now in lockdown due in part to people like Sandy that have carried on regardless during this crisis.
