But have you ever considered that the 50-100 people in the back can get you JUST as sick? They come from multiple cities, states, and even countries, where the flu strains are different than the ones you may have been inoculated against.
Face it, in this industry, you WILL get sick more often than in just about any other, minus the health care profession.
I'll take my chances with someone behind the cockpit door for a leg over bozo coughing all over himself and then twisting knobs and tuning frequencies right next to me for 4 days.
