Thats why China literally instituted the largest human quarantine in human history, “just in case”.

Oh cool. Some more political BS that the mods won’t do anything about. Anyone?

One thing I learned 18 years ago at this fine establishment is to only be concerned about what you can control and don't sweat the rest.

A little bit of history. Regarding furloughs, years ago we were told a pilot has to be on the street for at least a year to make the furlough financially viable for the company. There are still a lot of retirements to cover. The airline's economic underpinnings are vastly improved over the last decade. I remember comments that even in a recession, airlines would break even at worst.

Again, worry about what you can control.

Not true. Thread closed due to political pie fight.
