A BA insider claimed there were 'no reported underlying health conditions' in both the crew members who died.
Speaking of the double-death blow, a source told The Sun said colleagues were in 'shock and disbelief'.
'It has been a traumatic festive period for BA’s flying team. Everyone is deeply upset,' they said.
Paying tribute, British Airways said the company's thoughts were with the families of the fallen colleagues.
An official cause of death for both crew members has yet to be determined.
Airline employees are a tight group and spend a lot of time together (on and off duty) but the amount of grief they feel when they see their own fall must be over the charts. How many are thinking, I'm next? How many have had symptoms that they've been noticing and denying, when they see one of their own die right in front of them.
Nah to this. Flights are awarded based on seniority and a monthly schedule pick based on that seniority. You might fly with the same crew for a month, maybe 3-4 scheduled trips made up of multiple destinations over a few days each, or an international flight there and back with overnights. But next month is a different crew and flights in most cases. So you do know people, but not that closely.
