Trump spoke with leaders of the airline industry on Wednesday at the White House. The executive spoke of steps they’ve taken to confront the spread of the new virus.
Southwest Airlines CEO and board chairman Gary Kelly said employees have stepped up efforts to make sure airplanes are clean and disinfected.
United Airlines CEO Oscar Munoz said workers are doing what he called the “corona bump,” where they bump elbows as part of their greeting.
Trump thanked the airlines and said they’ve “stepped up” to stem the spread of the virus.
The airline company executives are hypocrites. The seats in aircraft are rarely, if ever cleaned; the blankets, if they still have any, are also rarely, if ever cleaned. The so-called rest rooms on planes are filthy. Years ago, the airlines used to serve soft drinks by giving passengers the unopened can. Now, they often open a can and poor it into a cup. How do I know the sanitary conditions pertaining to the flight attendants doing that? We have no way of knowing if they’ve washed their hands, or if the cups are clean?
