Default Swine Flu

Are you guys worried about your health and the health of your company? Like SARS this can devastate the airline/travel industry.

Of course...either way if it actually develops, or just the fear that will come from the reports...both will do damage

I've always traveled with a stock of Tamiflu with me. I'm not worried about Swine Flu, it's really no different than the regular flu other than it is widespread in Mexico, and could get this way in America. I however, just do not want to get sick. I have too much stuff going on.

Just take extra precautions. Wash your hands, use the alcohol gel and pads to keep clean. I've been briefing my flight attendants on this since the outbreak began.

We already have folks wearing masks (both pilots and f/a's) during flights and overnights, seeing as we serve 25+ markets in Mexico.

Bad timing for the industry, first the oil, then the economic downturn, and now a widespread virus....we can't seem to catch a break!

I completely agree ... take extra precautions and you shouldn't have anything to worry about

I'm not sure what's worse:

The VP scaring everybody to death and telling them to stay away from mass transportation

or

The P telling everybody to wash their hands, not cough on people, and [presumably] "wipe" during a national "press conference".

Sheesh.

Well, if RUSH said it, there would be a whole bunch of posters on here praising him from the highest mountain for giving out such great info and wondering why the president hadn't said anything about it..........
