EVA Airways Investigates Flight Attendant's Death
EVA Airways has confirmed the death of a flight attendant on Saturday after returning to Taiwan and has launched an internal investigation.
The investigation comes as criticism mounts over a social media post accusing the airline of failing to provide sufficient employee protections.
The flight attendant complained of feeling sick on board a flight, but was unable to take sick leave or access medical care.
- The crew member allegedly did not receive assistance from the chief purser.
- The chief purser failed to heed requests for medical attention or call an ambulance once the flight landed.
Many flight attendants feel unable to request time off due to the impact on performance reviews, promotions, and end-of-year bonuses.
