He must. Check out the ALPA call to action. Healthcare protection for furloughed pilots means furloughed pilots, right?

I mean, it doesn't take a genius to figure out we're at risk of furloughs. Some have already started voluntary furloughs...

Just be aware that it is unpaid time off and unless you have another job that pays more than this one or otherwise don’t need a AWALLC paycheck for a month, I would never advise anyone to take a whole month of PTO.

Good luck defending it. It does not fit the classic definition of act of god. A political decision to restrict travel, or public demand drop is not an act of god.

No, but pandemics are.

It probably doesn’t have to be an “act of god”. It just has to be an extreme circumstance that is beyond their control. I’d say this is an extreme circumstance and they certainly can’t control the decisions that the government makes.

Typically Force Majeure is defined as a major force beyond one’s control.

For example a construction contractor may have a guarantee date of completion. Not only tornadoes, floods, and other “Acts of God”, they include other major events. These include unforeseen wildcat union strikes, civil unrest, or acts of war.

depends if the contract specifies force majeure, or just act of god. These are different things.
