FA's are working much fewer hours due to the reduction in flights. Limiting contact
Passenger loads are extremely low (@ 20% of capacity) Limiting contact
Most current travelers seem to be more aware of their health and self police their travel and contact.
Conversely I've observed less than 10% of flight crews wearing masks either on the aircraft or in the concourses but a majority of FA’s are wearing gloves when interacting with passengers.
You can draw their own conclusions.
Yes, but what about all those months before mid-March? What about all those flights in and out of China during that time?
This should be addressed because passenger loads are going to ramp up again this summer in many places.
