Just curious, can the US bill the Chinese for the CARES Act? It only makes sense. Otherwise, who's paying for it? Legit question.

considering China owns most of the US’s debt, be careful what you wish for.

ALPA
 

I honestly think we should, as a pilot group, pressure ALPA to file a lawsuit against China.to cover the cost of the CARES Act.

What if they bill us saying that it was brought to China by a US soldier? I bet they can come up with just as much evidence of that as we can of it starting in their lab.

You’re somewhere between depression and bargaining. Acceptance will come soon.

For real. I’d take that in a heartbeat if I was old enough. I like flying, but the chance to NOT work for what, at that point, is decent money, AND keep all benefits? Shoot, I’d add 30 years onto my life right now so I’d qualify if I could. Being that much closer to death seems preferable at this point anyway... #millennialthoughts

Not a bad deal especially if you set yourself up financially for early retirement.

They also mentioned possible reduced pay time off, wondering if they will be offering some sort of paid leave. Possibly also 37.5 hours monthly leave of absence

One of my piedmont friends said they’re giving people 25 hrs to take the month off. I suppose any number less than 60 is better than paying everyone 60 to do nearly nothing.

I think all of us under 60 should encourage every single pilot we talk to over the age of 60 to take the deal.
