Really stupid question here, (but if you knew me you'd understand) -
Having seen the economic impact of SARS on our business I know that should widespread human to human transmission of avian flu develop we'd all be devastated. Still knowing next to nothing about flu transmission though, is there anything that can be done by an airline to avoid or minimize it and keep flying? Pre check in screening, air con filters, pax masks, etc?
