The Pandemic Has Changed Flying

With the complexities of the Covid-19 pandemic, the entire travel experience has changed. Now more safety precautions must be taken to ensure people are staying healthy. Most airports and airlines require tests that prove a negative result before boarding. Everyone must wear a mask, and most places even ask passengers to show their vaccination certificates. Although flight attendants have worked throughout the pandemic, they haven't been classified as "essential workers." Unfortunately, any benefits the government gave essential workers didn't apply to them.

Regardless of flight attendants risking their health by continuing to work all day in small enclosed spaces with circulated air, they don't receive any additional coverage or bonuses.
