Agreed. We could also gain some low-hanging fruit we were trying to get with the next contract anyway.

Sorry to interrupt yet another thread derailing to stick to the actual topic. If only there was an entire COVID forum for you people to argue back and forth and never change the other side’s mind.

Speaking of DAL, do they have seperate divisions like we used to / have in some bases. I wonder if eliminating those is going to help a little bit.

48 pages of Rona arguments back and forth, on a thread titled "Furlough Estimates". Only 16 replies, out of over 400 actually deal with furlough estimates. Try to stay on topic, kids...!

Okay- Its just the flu and every airline, including B6, will eventually furlough and file. 3-5 year recovery at best. Oh yea--Socialism is coming.

You mean like right now where taxpayers are paying $400K/yr captains to stay home? I don't see too many of us pilots whining about their zero-hour lines. Because that isn't socialism. Right? I mean, we'd never pay people not to work.

As the scientists and math claim... this is the flu. Dr. Fauci says so himself. If the media actually reported 100% of the story instead of just the 10% that scares everybody it would be better to just let this play out as it wouldn’t be much worse than it is already. This could be over in 1-2 months. But since the media wants people to live in fear we have to cater to the people that think covid is certain death and drag this thing on for the next year or however long it takes to get a vaccine and have everyone at risk of losing their jobs. Even though, the end result will be something similar either way. Governor Cuomo even stated 66% of New York Covid patients were people obeying stay at home orders. So what did the lockdown really do?

You are correct 15-20 percent of all confirmed cases require admission. Now you are seeing the problem with COVID. You don’t actually think China built a hospital in five days for the flu right. The fact that GA is building a field hospital is for the same reason. Add to it the average stay is fifteen nights and you got yourself a real problem.
