I was in DFW last week. Shall I quarantine? I live three miles from CVG upwind of the Atlas ramp, watch out now!

I just arrived in Chicago on a United flight 13 hours ago. Any UA pilots popping positive? Don’t really care, but it was unfortunately the fastest offload I have ever seen. Plenty of snacks though. Like “Cezzna”, I DH a lot... don’t worry bud, I am not headed back to that CVG ramp anytime soon. Well that might incorrect with our schedule changes.

Haven't heard as far as I know. Some very recent cases. I believe one was in question (but non symptomatic) and was told to fly. Apparently infected other crew members.
