Should our airlines be taking steps to protect us as crew on the front line? For instance, although not in-keeping with a professional look, should face masks be issued?

the short answer is "NO"
Short of pressuring the Government to legislate this, I'm afraid qantas crew do put their lives at risk.
iriver88...you do seem to be contradicting yourself here....his question is 'SHOULD' crew be protected not 'ARE' crew protected...

You answer 'NO' to the question and then say that the crew put themselves at risk by I assume not being allowed to take any preventative measures....

I believe that any airline operating into an area that is at risk should insist that crew wear a mask or take some preventative measure to try and reduce the rick of contracting any disease regardless of what type of airline they are....
