I dont believe ACARS messages containing crew or pax names for that matter should be published on this site.

ACARS info is publicly available on the internet, so I'm not sure what the big deal is?

Hope Suzan has a quick recovery.

That may well be the case but if I was the FA would prefer it not to be published on a website. How many people really sit around monitoring ACARS messages anyway? Everyone's different I guess.

I'm with James.
Public or not there is no need to re-publish everything that is sent via Acars. I don't see the advantages of making this stuff public? Only adds to the media bashing on the subject. Just my thoughts. |

oh well, I find it interesting
only a first name of the FA was released, possibly even abbreviated (could be Sussane) no big deal... |

The point of the thread was that airlines were using ACARS to warn quarantine authorities of passengers with flu like symptoms. Suzan's full name was in the ACARS transmission, however I removed the surname for privacy reasons.
Air New Zealand use ACARS to send emails that include the crew members full email address. If I publish any of these transmissions I always throw in some ??? in the email address to maintain their privacy.

I like reading Grahames ACARS transmissions, don't see the issue anybody can find them online if they want them.
