For all you airline folks, especially international types...
Who is in charge of disease prevention and management at airlines? Is this responsibility typically vested in a specific job title or department? Is it even a specific proactive focus, or kinda sorta a reactive afterthought under the aegis of say, the emergency response manager or some such?
What protocols are in place for nascent pandemics? Are there specific plans/SOPs created, in place, and ready to execute for reacting to an extant threat? Are there specific plans/SOPs for general prevention of transmission of communicative diseases? If so, what are they? Are they published? Do airlines employ/retain epidemiologists and or disease prevention experts and integrate their insights into definite and specific response thresholds that in turn flip the switch on specific, pre-planned response cascades?
Are there Pilot or Airline Management Association or ICAO committees dedicated to this sort of thing, creating best practices, coordinating responses, etc?
Any insight would be appreciated. (I'm keeping the questions general at risk of going TL/DR.)
