PROBLEM 1. MERS-coV is a new coronavirus that emerged in late 2012/early 2013; it has severe respiratory symptoms and can cause death in humans, similar to but not the same as the SARS virus. The virus seems to be concentrated in the Middle East, hence the acronym. You are the HR Director of a large international airline with flights to many destinations. A few of your flight attendants have refused to work on flights involving Middle East destinations, citing unsafe work conditions due to the closed circulatory air system of an airplane, which they believe increases the chance of getting the virus and becoming ill. They have asked to be given alternate assignments. What would you do?
