EVA fires pilot for quarantine breach‘CHALLENGING’: The airline is also investigating another pilot for breaching quarantine regulations and has fired four flight attendants, while two other pilots have resignedBy Kao Shih-ching / Staff reporterEVA Airways Corp (長榮航空) on Monday dismissed a Taiwanese pilot for contravening quarantine regulations and posing a risk to his colleagues. The pilot earlier this year reportedly asked his girlfriend to visit him while he was in quarantine and EVA on Monday launched an investigation. The pilot admitted contravening the regulations, so the company’s disciplinary committee terminated his contract, the airline said. Pilots and flight attendants are required to undergo three and five days of home quarantine respectively after returning from overseas. The airline is also investigating another pilot and has fired four flight attendants for breaching regulations, while two other pilots resigned, it said.
