However, Nelson says a disorganized federal response has caused problems.The head of America's biggest flight attendants union is calling on the federal government to do more to help airlines combat the spread of the Wuhan coronavirus.

Nelson's union represents flight attendants at 20 airlines, including United, and is in the midst of an organizing drive at Delta. Nelson credited airlines for taking a proactive approach to suspending routes and providing flight crews with information and supplies, saying that she wanted "to recognize that the airlines worked well with us right from the start, and United was very proactive." However, she said that because precautions have been left up to each individual airline, the approach has not been entirely unified across the industry.

"They need to convene work groups that include stakeholders and relevant departments, especially the Department of Transportation, Health and Human Services, Education, Labor, FEMA, and the CDC, to coordinate delivery of recommendations, guidance, and materials," she added. "Issuing uniform guidance across relevant industries that ensure consistent standards of caution."
