I'd like to have a degree of confidence as to what the company will or won't do for us if abroad and ill with suspected C 19?
Historically, they would get you home. Happened to me once with food poisoning. However it’s way more complicated now. Imagine you are in a South American country and get sick with a fever. Maybe Covid, maybe not. Test not available.Does the company allow a crew member on a plane load of pax...........?
Then there is an issue with local authorities. Got a fever? You may not make it through airport security?
Short answer, take a lot of cash with you on International trips and be prepared for a long stay. Don’t depart home if you feel the slightest bit ill.
