Keep crews together to avoid the risk of superspreaders

For the time being roster the same crews together to avoid the risk of many sets of crew being infected and out of action. The risk of an asymptomatic crew member becoming a superspreader wandering from plane to plane and infecting a large number of crews should be tken seriously. These asymptomatic superspreaders do not show any sign that would let you stop them coming to work. No temperature and no constant coughs. They are still harbouring the virus and can spread it simply by talking. Or by hand transfer and that would not be stopped by mask wearing. Many crew are young and this increases the percentage of individuals that when infected will be asymptomatic. In addition the hunt for costs among airlines have resulted in a lower than average availability of sick benefits and paid days off, leading to many crew going to work even if feeling slightly under the weather. Actually this behaviour is encouraged by many airlines. You might have many additional crews at this time that
