A Southwest Airlines flight attendant is suing the airline after her husband died of COVID-19 following a training session in which she says she caught the virus.
Carol Madden, 69, said her airline “utterly failed to implement the most basic precautions to safeguard the health and wellbeing” during a mandatory training session last July at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport. She’s asking for $3 million in damages.
Her lawsuit says that she was exposed to COVID-19 during the training and that both she and her husband were positively diagnosed a few days later. Madden’s husband, William, died a month later.
