The discussion was relevant and vital to airline pilots because the last thing we need right now is our passengers becoming afraid to go fly because of some reckless and uninformed comments.

Well said.

I don't think anyone is trying to 'argue' the point of politics here. No matter if you find yourself on the left or right of the isle, I would believe that an irresponsible comment such as that could very well effect us all as airline pilots. It's no secret "Joe", the industry is already shakey at best.

In the end....let's just hope this pandemic passes as quick as it came about.
