(I guess if positive then you could test one by one or assume all are positive and the family needs to quarantine). I don't know how many can share a pooling test but if you could test a whole aircraft with only a few tests.....
Sounds like a reasonable idea but keep in mind I know three families who have had a cold case that has not spread to the rest of the family. So a part family break could be voided using this option.
