I used to have to go to Hawaii and Guam about 5-6 times each year on business.

Somehow I could never find a way to book a bus or train to get there. [:p]

I would never fly United Airlines, as their economy seat pitch (31") is the smallest in the industry.

But, he fails to understand that transmission of infection has been approved by the Big Liar in the White House; those who voted for him need to accept that getting sick, especially with Ebola, is your patriotic duty in order to fundamentally change the country.

Actually, all airlines work pretty much the same way. They can't afford to screen passengers for illness, as empty seats always mean "lost revenue". And, he needs to understand how the ventilation works on all commercial jets: Cabin air is mixed with fresh air, & the % of fresh air is adjusted by the pilots. The more fresh air, the healthier things are for the passengers. However, fresh air must be heated, which uses fuel & costs the airline money, so the amount of fresh air is kept at a minimum.

None of this is secret. If you fly, you risk illness. If you want to minimize the risk, wear a mask & gloves.
