Shouldn’t., but I don’t know. Getting anti body test in a few days...

2, FTB brought this up, I guy in the cockpit wearing a mask, and it becomes a comm issue, hearing the V1 call, maybe the atc guy can’t hear them...
I gotta say, I would have very little tolerance for that, like zero..it’s a aircraft safety issue then that trumps a personal safety issue...if your that damned scared stay home.

Haven’t flown in a month, sitting reserve...what’s going on out there?
