With the rapid worldide spread from Asia of the SARS 'virus' it is reassuring to know that a lot of Airlines in the region are operating according to WHO directives. Some of the more responsible Airlines such as Thai International are actually issuing pax and Crew with masks when they fly to affected areas such as HKG and mainland China. Dragonair and Singapore Airlines have
this directive printed on their Websites.
Then we come to the irresponsible that are flying within the affected regions. Their web pages show no information whatsoever as issued by the WHO, but even more worrying is that the Crews are not being briefed as per the new directive distrubuted by the WHO. This I believe is totally irresponsible of them, there is no cause for panic, but new cases are being reported daily and perhaps vigilant Crews, Check in Agents, and more importantly Airline managers, should get their act together and do as advised by the WHO. In fact if they really used their brains they may even increase their diminishing pax figures as pax are reassured they are flying with a responsible carrier.
Anyway good on Thai and Singapore Airlines
Hmmmmm
