There was something put out about a crewmember that had done sort of uncalled for treatment . I guess you could read between the lines but we don't really know what happened .

Well that is concerning to say the least. Evidently we have 2 guys that popped positive and I don't know their status yet. Be safe out there guys.

You’re correct about us being able to refuse the nasal swab and have two throat swabs instead. However, things seem to change by the hour..

A few days ago the union issued a statement regarding the incident you mentioned. So something did happen but no details..

“...IPA was alerted to a disturbing incident—occurring in real time—involving a SZX crew who was subjected to unacceptable physical contact during the conduct of a test...”

Their tests are very inaccurate and I think we’ll see many more crew members test positive. The latest news is that some of the masks China ‘donated’ to countries around the world actually contained the virus! Unbelievable.. :-|
