Even 10 hours to defray the cost of the insurance would’ve been passable imo, this is an insult and a big FU from the company that felt they had to offer “something” and ultimately did so in bad faith.
Everything they have been sending out are simply done to help mitigate any potential lawsuits later on. Stupid things like checking for fevers, locking yourself up in your hotel rooms, this leave etc. It is all bull****.
This way they can say they tried something. The sooner you realize this management team hates you as a pilot and that our union is virtually powerless to do anything about it, the less surprised and angry you will get about this stuff.
