American and United Airlines will go back to packing flights despite the coronavirus
about how United Airlines came under fire for not adhering to own social distancing promises. United Airlines had stated in an email to customers that they were “automatically middle seats to give you enough space on board.” When a doctor on board a United Airlines flight from Newark to San Francisco tweeted a photo of the cabin, it looked as if the airline had blocked those middle seats with, drum roll please, other passengers.
Well, the American Airlines announcement seemed to downplay the booking policy change and instead emphasize other Covid-19 coronavirus prevention measures that would be in place. In fact, look at where the booking policy change was situated in the announcement. Not at the beginning. Not in the second of the announcement’s seven sections. But in the fifth section.
These are all good infection prevention measures to have in place. It’s certainly better to hear that the planes will be cleaned more thoroughly than a bachelor’s pad. But will all of these measures really be enough to protect you from the Covid-19 coronavirus? Getting dressed doesn’t mean just wear a scarf, a beret, and boots. That could leave you quite exposed.
All of these other measures won’t fully compensate for the one thing that you shouldn’t be doing these days, staying very close to others for an extended period time in an enclosed location. In fact, many of these other measures would work a whole lot better when combined with social distancing.
