Cabin crew offered coronavirus field hospital work

The new temporary NHS Nightingale Hospital is being set up at the ExCeL Centre in London's Docklands area

Thousands of EasyJet and Virgin airline staff are being offered work in the new NHS Nightingale Hospital. Those who sign up will support nurses and senior clinicians at the coronavirus field hospital in east London, the NHS said.NHS England said many airline staff are first aid trained and already have security clearance.

The workers will be changing beds and performing other non-clinical tasks and helping doctors and nurses working on the wards, the NHS said. Virgin Atlantic said it has written to around 4,000 employees, while EasyJet said it has contacted 9,000 of its UK-based staff - half of whom are first aid trained, the airline said.

“In the case of emergency an oxygen mask won’t drop down from the ceiling because there’s not enough available”

The negative responses towards EasyJet virginatlantic cabin crew assisting NightingaleHospital are astounding. Crew don’t just serve drinks. 10% of training involves hospitality, rest is dedicated to safety/emergency procedures, inc emergency life support.Brave individuals!

SimonHarrisTD LeoVaradkar Irish Cabin Crew like myself I'm sure would be more than happy to do the same!

So people who have been paid to staff planes travelling to and from exotic places, helping to spread this virus throughout the world, are now be expected to roll up their sleeves and help deal with it? What's the objection?

Bloody Goode !

There's plenty of work on farms. Honest toil in the open air.

Got anything Branson can do, he has his begging bowl out?

I bet they never saw that going when they signed up to be cabin crew. Wish them the best with saving lives.

So as he made them take unpaid leave, will richardbranson pay his staffs wages whilst they put their lives at risk to help the nation. Or will he want a payment from the government as usual.

Good on VirginAtlantic and easyJet employees. StayHomeSaveLives

Great news & will not be forgotten!
