Flight attendants are among those shaking their heads over the CDC's revised guidance cutting in half the quarantine time for people who test positive for COVID-19 but show no symptoms.
Flight attendants spend most of their work days cooped up in airplanes with hundreds of passengers so they take these guidelines very seriously.
From the Association of Flight Attendants, Sara Nelson acknowledges that CDC's original 10 day rule was not always right but she says "it's certainly going to more right than five days would be where we know that some people would be forced to come back to work while they're still sick."
Even flight attendants who have paid sick leave claim that even before Covid they felt pressure to work sick for fear of being penalized with performance points if they used that pad leave.
