  • Description: Airlines are not sufficiently protecting crews from risks related to coronavirus or providing clear health guidance, potentially endangering staff despite public claims to the contrary, according to the Air Line Pilots Association, International. In a report published on May 11, the union says pilots at 17 airlines reported conditions that put passengers and crew at risk. The report includes allegations of airlines scrimping on aircraft sanitation, not following up on suspected coronavirus exposures in crews, missing or inadequate disinfection supplies and protective equipment, and not adhering to guidelines meant to keep crews safe. The pilots complain of unclear, incomplete or confusing communications from their employers. The reports were collected between the end of March and mid-May.
