That’s awful. We don’t know how good we have it today.

What Did People Use for Wiping Before Toilet Paper?

In rural Mekong Delta there are piers for ****ting into the river and there is a fish adapted to eat your **** as soon as it hits the water. Then you wipe with banana leaves. I actually do have bananas in Florida but unfortunately no river or ca tra fish nearby, and banana leaves shouldn't be flushed.

Maybe, maybe not. It’s too uncertain to know yet. I think the 50 hour thing makes a lot of sense. If after the virus subsided and bookings are still low we can always do the f word then.

Hilarious. Banana leaves are way better than corn cobs. Or goose necks.

Not sure what this really means for us, but some recovery is occurring in China.

I think what he meant to say is, that even if the virus is short lived, (I think it'll be longer vs. shorter,) the affects on airlines and society will last years.

So, no hand shaking anymore? Do I not need to show that I am not carrying a weapon?

Stray porcupine...

Anyways, for those who are afraid this is the end, there will be a vaccine soon, and there are drugs (old drugs already in circulation) that they are now realizing work effectively at combating the virus.

But they won't report that news with oversized, bold headlines.

So I suggest

Every single pilot flying or TK or management gets 50 hrs credit for the month at their hourly rate.
man power decides how many they need to fly and or reserve per seniority and the rest stay home.
monthly pilot payroll will be around more or less 60 percent of what is usually monthly .

last I check pilot payroll is around 3.2 billion per year with flight ops budget of 4 billion or so
that will be almost 800 million or so saving for the company for 2 months and after that we shall see and act based on how things going

No furloughs
my choice if I had the magic wand
Just trying to play along with the numbers... do you mean payroll B3.2 per yr / 6 = 533M for two months, and 40% savings on that = 212M for two months, or did I (probably) miss something?

I think that went way over most people's heads, Dave. I know you, you're a killing machine even unarmed . Hope all is well on the left coast.

A bear and a rabbit are taking a **** in the woods.

The bear turns to the rabbit and asks conversationally: "You ever have a problem with **** sticking to your fur?"

The rabbit, smugly, replies: "Nope, never."

The bear says "Good to hear it," picks up the rabbit and wipes his ass with the bunny.
