For the few flights that have not been cancelled.
What level of protection is right? for Cabin Crew and flight crew
Which level of masks should flight crew wear?
Are gloves and hand sanitiser,etc enough ? Goggles, when in close contact with passengers(?)
As Ukrainian cabin crew wear full protective suits, is this correct?
Air Canada's main flight attendant union says some of the supplies being provided don't fit properly and that it is time crews be provided with full-length protective gowns."We need the equipment; we need it yesterday," said Wesley Lesosky, president of the Air Canada component of CUPE.
"We don't have properly fitted N95 masks, we don't have properly fitted gloves and we don't have things such as disposable long-sleeve isolation gowns that should be made available to our crews."
He said the union looked into the feasibility of hazmat suits but concluded disposable gowns would be easier for crews in tight quarters and pose less risk for contamination and spreading the virus.
