This is terrible to read, shame on AS for not having its own program in place to notify passengers/ contact trace. I thought this was a prerequisite to them flying, wow, guess i thought very wrong. What a complete failure this country is right now. And to the person above who has resigned himself to “accepting the risk”, it didnt have to be this way and this is a huge weak link in the chain for certain communities where infection rates are still very low now. Contact tracing is essential for these heterogeneous environments (where are you are intermixing people coming from places where community spread is almost nonexistent right now with those where it is raging off the charts). The longer it takes to notify somebody who is going from a plane into a low infection rate community that they have been exposed, The greater the likelihood that these places will also see there infection rates shoot up.
