Interesting that this wishful thinking, 3 years down the road
PR can make it to the front of the bmi intranet. Yet the previous article, that was at the header on the front page giving staff guidance as to how to protect themselves at work from Swine Flu, still seems to go lead to a non existant webpage. Perhaps, it's just my computer?
That just about sums things up. Without seeming too alarmist, I heard figures that 50% of the UK population would come into contact with the virus. If true, what contingency programme do we have in place, should a large % of the work force phone in sick, what happens next? Realistically unlikely that 50% do call in sick on any one day but with a combination of cancelled public transport, petrol station closures and reliance on correct number of cabin crew, pilots, engineers, dispatchers per aircraft etc there is little doubt that significant disruption could potentially occur.
Are there any measures in place to deal with the aircraft recycled air that we will breathe from the virus riddled public?
But hey nevermind, there is the slightest chance we could be going to Baghdad in a couple of years time, thats really important.
Cough, cough
