Human Factors
I was working this flight and was accomplishing a bird strike inspection and was almost blasted with vomit from a passenger that was allowed to stand on platform between aircraft and jetbridge with canopy retracted. This just seems be all wrong to me; for a crew to allow a passenger to stand where he was; off the aircraft to vomit numerous times onto ground; that's my work area; where I work; it's disgusting; then allow the passenger to re-board and fly out sick next to other passengers. Who knows if the passenger has a disease of some sort; after reading the protocol to follow from CDC; the incident wasn't handled properly; isn't this a public health issue. Then the vomit was allowed to stay on ground for about 3 hours; no concern for clean-up; till a midnight crew chief refused to accomplish any maintenance on aircraft from that gate.
Maintenance technician reported a passenger being allowed to vomit from the jet bridge to the ramp below then board the aircraft and depart.
