DENVER -- A Denver-based Frontier Airlines employee blames the company for panicking after an Ebola sickened passenger traveled on one of its airplanes.

Now, the employee, speaking anonymously, says the airline is putting employees at risk.

“Frontier hasn`t done enough to train cleaners to get us the proper cleaning solution to clean the plane,” the employee said. FOX31 Denver is protecting the employee's identity because the person's job is at risk.

“I think I should be able to wear a mask to protect myself,” the employee said.

For years when Frontier planes landed this employee boarded to clean the plane's interior. They've always worn masks and gloves until Wednesday night when Frontier parked an Airbus A-320 in Denver for cleaning.

“They`re telling us now we can`t wear the mask,” the employee said. “Management said because the passengers would be freaked out by it.”

The employee says the airline changed its policy after Wednesday preventing cleaning crews from wearing protective masks.

“I totally disagree with the way they went about it and I feel the way they did go about it was just for the public eye.”

Todd Lehmacher, Director of Corporate Communications for Frontier, issued the following statement on the matter via e-mail:

"The CDC has told us that everything we have done goes above and beyond and what we have done is consistent with their guidelines as posted on their website.

"We feel this aircraft is absolutely safe -- our senior leaders along with myself have flown on the aircraft, sat in the seat occupied by the customer and have no reservations. The carpet is still to be removed, though again we have been told it is not necessary. We are going well above and beyond."
