In the meantime, some 78/77 FO is sitting at home all month for 50 hours of pay, golfing nine every morning and without a care in the world about when to stop drinking for show time. There are winners during this completely unfounded apocalyptic mass hysteria. Just wish it would trickle down to the NB fleet. Specifically the 320 in ORD.

Very grateful for the 400+ retirements that will happen in 2020.

Hysteria is right. Slide forward to about the 1:10 mark. Or you know log into to the CDC and see what they actually have to say.

Pilots talking about viruses (or any subject) and what’s gonna happen is like watching The View.

Who are all these new trolls on this site?

Bummer when media hysteria hits home versus just people you don’t like.

I "heard" yesterday it will be coming to all fleets. 50 hours month off. I asked the CP office about a 1-3 year LOA yesterday. They said no problem.

always keep in mind that the experts used to say the sun revolved around the earth and that there were witches in Salem.

As of yesterday, all communications from US agencies regarding COVID19 have to be cleared through the Vice President’s office. It appears that functioning government with agencies that can act on and communicate in their areas of expertise is a thing of the past.

I agree that hysteria is the wrong response but equally damaging is a government that’s not trustworthy. Given the administration’s unique style of communication, who are you going to believe?
