A reliable source has indicated that we have WUP pilots with symptoms of COVID 19, however there is no way to confirm if they tested positive. The company said they would “do their best to notify anyone who was in contact”. There is HIPAA involved, so you will not know unless if you have been in contact with that person. Given the time it takes to exhibit the symptoms, we can become carriers or spread the virus ourselves(2x2x2x2 etc.) If you have any doubt do everyone a favor and stay home. Read the employees rights that HR sent out, you will be covered up to 80 hours of sick leave for reasons 2,3,4. Unfortunately reason 1 does not apply because you have been deemed essential. Please be safe out there!

Wheels UP just announced a “shared sacrifice” to avoid layoffs. Pilots have the option of leave without pay but sill keep health insurance. The rest of us will be placed in 8/13 or 8/20 schedule and pay adjusted accordingly.

Ugh - hang in there guys. Is the 8/13 or 8/20 schedule a big pay hit?
