Sobering Video from KPIT
Juan Brown is an AA B777 F/O who runs a YouTube channel under the ID "blancolirio" with 170K subscribers. His latest video has no talking. It was shot out the window of an airliner landing and rolling out at PIT and shows dozens upon dozens of parked AA mainline Jets. There's some text giving some numbers on 1Q loss and some other stuff. We know about how many jets are parked but still seeing it like this makes it a lot more real.

CNBC did an entire video segment on it. It is surprisingly good. Some of the footage and stats are amazing:

The man can’t win can he? Half the country is blaming him for a virus originating in China; and then there are people like you that are criticizing him for “shutting down the economy.” You do realize decisions to shut down the economy are made at the gubernatorial level? The federal government provides guidance but has very little to do with individual states’ restrictions (as indicated with his feuds with Cuomo)

Sometimes, we don't want to see the obvious, because everything would become a lot easier, so we try to find alternative reasons that would fit better to our way of looking at things. The bottom line is we all have a medical issue, a lethal virus we have to deal with first, and that should be our main concern at the moment. I downloaded this video using youtube-mp3.me/fr/fr-2/ and showed it to my father, and I could see the emotion in his eyes. I just hope we can all get to fly together soon and enjoy our lives again.
