Transiting crews are loaded up taken to a hotel and locked in the room then taken back to plane next day and they fly out, in blancos case he is a co pilot on a 777 doing cargo and he is afik held in a HQ same guards same no leaving room rules
I am a pilot and sometimes return from overseas as a passenger. Am I exempt from hotel quarantine?
Under the NSW Public Health Orders,
you are not exempt unless you are part of the flight crew on the particular flight and you are required to enter hotel quarantine. This is also applicable to cabin crew or other airline crew who are not part of the flight crew on any given flight arriving in NSW from overseas.
