Better question is why are the airlines willing to risk passengers and crew? Really, consider that thought for a moment. What airline steward/stewardess is willing to risk their own lives on flight from these countries?
Massive lawsuits should be able to shutdown those flights.
“Better question is why are the airlines willing to risk passengers and crew?”
Their insurance accountant mojos have run loss/risk data projections on spread sheets and apparently feel that lawsuits will take a long time and in the mean time they can keep making money while increasing the ticket costs.
Re the crew, they figure that in today’s job market, no one or very few will quit. If Americans quit, they can hire Africans.
I was wondering that too. Who in their right mind, would work on a plane that goes to these hell hole countries? For that matter, I consider all planes and airports to be laboratories that are growing this plague day by day.
