JayQ the Legend defends the health and wellbeing of fellow passengers on his Delta flight this morning by discretely requesting that the flight attendant ask an overtly sick passenger, coughing and sneezing without covering his mouth, to be more mindful of others. Her response, which she said loudly for everyone to hear, was “we cannot remove a passenger”.

The flight attendant escalated the situation even more by calling in a supervisor and delaying the flight. The supervisor told JayQ The Legend, trial lawyer and former marine, that he could get off the plane and take another flight, which was the company policy.

Simultaneously, BreakOut Music CEO, Miriam Bavly, who happens to have a master’s in science degree in public health from Harvard University, was on another flight discussing her concerns with Jetblue flight attendants. Having caught the flu from a sick passenger a few weeks earlier, she learned that Jetblue has no policy to protect healthy passengers. They did mention that the airlines is doubling up on cleaning the airplanes, but they cannot discriminate against sick passengers, no matter how sick they are. The flight attendants themselves are not allowed to even wear gloves, except to pick up trash.

It is time the airlines take more action to protect healthy patients and empower sick passengers to be respectful. Here are some suggestions:

We can’t expect that virally ill people aren’t going to get on a flight, but the airlines can do much more to keep everyone healthy, especially during flu season.
