INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:

Eva Air and China Airlines – the top 2 airlines in Taiwan – are feeling the pressure as not only pilots but flight attendants as well are making their grievances known, stating they are being forced to fly in unsafe conditions and are also being overworked.
Currently, the law does allow employees to take the day off during natural disasters only if a holiday is declared in their place of residence or work or in the path of their commute.
The unsafe flying conditions are particularly being related to when a typhoon strikes, as there is no law in the country that requires flights to be cancelled during a natural disaster.
