Has China Airlines made any sort of public apolology? I do a lot of proofreading of their internal communications and there’s been 100% radio silence on this. I’d imagine they’re majorly embarrassed, as they should be. Especially since the last two cases put a rather abrupt end to the “let’s blame this on foreign pilots” strategy.

They had one job to do.

It makes me all the more upset to realize I am subsidizing and encouraging their incompetence with my tax money.
Instead of trying to crash their planes they try to crash the country.

CECC implements “Clearing Plan” for China Airlines and adjusts home quarantine measures for CAL flight crews
5 days of quarantine is better than 3, though only home quarantine. Not sure what 9 additional days of “enhanced self-health management” really implies
To be fair (I am not saying pilots actions are good) CI/China Airline had 2 billion dollar profit in 2020 , so no taxpayer money spent there (not sure if Gov got profits or shareholders). Very few airlines had a profit in 2020, maybe EVA air and Korean and that about it. Cargo focus helps China Airlines eke out profit in 2020 | News | Flight Global
A guy in his 30s here in Taiwan just died while in quarantine. He came back from China.
The pilot who went out with the air hostess has a girlfriend working for China Trust. His trist was discovered and made known to his girlfriend through contact tracing.
Should have known better.

And so lessons haven’t been learned. Keep them in the cocking airport until their next flight. Its not hard.

One detail that caught my attention was the vaccination rate of their workers. Remember that they were all tested as the cluster became obvious—and the authorities made it clear that vaccines would be available at that same venue to speed things up and provide one-stop medical care. I remember reading that only something like 27% of them elected to get vaccinated.

Novotel fines for “mixed accomodations” and not following quarantine procedures.
The guy seems to have died by his own hand. Poor fellow. Tests so far show negative for COVID.
Different from the guy in his 80s who was found dead…and had COVID. That was a while ago. Death 12.

How does Taiwan determine the fee structure for these infractions? This is the same fee for a hotel company, as they have the flight attendant for breaking home quarantine.
Whoa 150,000 dollars
That’s sure taught that multi-million dollar, global hotel chain a lesson. They won’t cut corners and risk causing an outbreak again, not with that fine hanging over their heads.

Getting fined publicly makes them look bad.
I don’t think any company in Taiwan wants to be in this position right now.

If it’s not clear, Novotel at TPE is owned by China Airlines.

This is a welcome change to counter doctors’ hesitancy to send people for testing – doctors at small clinics will get NT$10,000 per case if they refer patients to SARS-Cov-2 test, and the results come back positive.
