How pandemic affects airline pilots' readiness? Analyze the situation of Airline pilot readiness after a pandemic and what are your recommendations? Explain?
Pilots were and are always ready to take off on the flights. Because of the rigorous screening, anyone with a corona can not pass through security at the airport.
Diseases like COVID-19 pose a threat to the flying public because they can be spread by humans. Therefore, it is critical that all relevant actors seek to limit the spread of these diseases through air transport. ICAO, ACI, CANSO, IATA, TIACA, WFP and WHO worked closely together to establish this common source of specific guidance for aviation with the objective
The reaction from the aviation sector was swift and successful, having had to deal with similar crises in the past, such as the 2003 Extreme Acute Respiratory Syndrome, SARS. In that case, the sector also responded effectively to mitigate the risk. In fact, with respect to airline crew (as well as ground staff) ICAO has taken some steps in accordance with the central recommendations provided by the World Health Organization (WHO) for the management of COVID-19 cases facing aviation operations.
In these situations, airport operators, flight managers, airlines, and airports must provide guidance to the crew and ground staff to recognise signs and symptoms of COVID-19. Measures to prevent transmission of COVID-19 including social distance, hand hygiene, breathing label, environmental cleaning, waste disposal, when and how to use a mask, avoid contact with people with respiratory symptoms, and seek medical advice early when signs and symptoms develop. Even, the crew will be instructed to handle a suspicious situation on board an plane.
I recommend to hasten slowly. I don't believe we should get back to the pre-pandemic state at a drop of a hat. We are in fastsand right now. So, it needs clear thinking, you need professional people. And the most important thing is to admit that if you made an error, you made an error, and learn from it. If it is aviation, or all the travel-related, tourism-related sectors, for the next two years it will be in a shambles. Pilots are still stressed. Worldwide growth in the need for transportation and shipping has placed a lot of tension on the pilots. The biggest thing that could affect the supply chain is not considering pilot readiness. They are the ones driving the planes.
