The more the public knows about Ebola transmission, the better off we will be. Leaving it up to the public to figure out, will cost us all some money.

What about informational videos and PAs in the gate house and onboard during boarding? I don't think we are there yet, but we should be ready.

Something else I've thought about: proactively denying boarding to any people exhibiting any flu symptoms to prevent the quarantine like circumstances at the destination when the passengers stress out about potential ebola enroute. Civil liberties vs. protecting the operation.
