Anyway, the unions have also talked KL into treating FAs who are running scared and don't want to fly with leniency, so those who prefer isolation to separation have that option.

For what I understand, most long haul flights are (for now) flights to get people back home. Blocking seats would mean leaving people stranded.
The 1,5m does not apply to transport, but is still a sensible precaution. I can imagine if you otherwise work constantly in an area with increased risk of infection, you take the opportunity to reduce the risk when your employer ships you somewhere.
Really not so different as measures other companies have taken to protect their workers.
