The notion that we are essential is laughable at best, damn near criminal at worst. I had no problem going to combat multiple upon multiple times over 20+ years, but NEVER did it place my family in immediate harms way. This DOES on too many fronts. I live in FL and TODAY a pax from NYC to JAX was caught with active COVID-19 in the back (caught by National Guard guys) (thanks guys by the way!). The problem is some don't know they got it, while others do know and fly anyway. My opinion is that the company is deliberately and unabashedly placing us all and our families in harms way by not just shutting down the operation for a few weeks. I'd like to see all the managers/leaders fly back and forth to NYC, layover in a scuzzy motel, eat in a local restaurant and use public transportation to go back and forth for the next 4 weeks and try to fly and be responsible for 200+ peoples lives an NOT be distracted. Good luck with that.
right on. The rational argument is being totally ignored by the company and frankly by the union. Every one of us is being put in jeopardy just by the desire to keep the operation going. Everything else be damned this is the elephant in the room. Why are we ignoring this?
