If you wish to parse the data by BES, then feel free to share your results so we can all see them.
DOH is irrelevant to relative seniority (ie seniority in BES), which is what matters when bidding against others in your BES, be it for a VIL, a schedule, etc. Sure an earlier DOH will yield better relative seniority, but a 2013 hire could be senior or junior depending on his BES. A 2008 hire couldn’t even hold an April VIL in my BES, which btw is not a very senior BES. It went in the top 30% of my BES. Do you consider top 30% in BES junior? I don’t. Not sure how the concept of relative seniority isn’t registering with you. It’s how this industry works. And thanks for the offer to parse data, but you’re the one who put DOH for all the bottom VIL awardees trying to back your argument, which quickly got shot down. So I yield that offer back to you. But you won’t do it since it will prove how silly your initial position was that VILs went junior in April.

So I’m not Dr.Fauci...but what are your thoughts about using the steam function from the hotel iron to disinfect things(hotel bedding, luggage , etc)?

Does anyone know if they had some sort of underlying condition? Maybe something that they didn't know about?

Spent a week in the hospital with it and luckily I didn't have to be incubated. Home now and getting better every day.
Buddy of mine who is a Delta pilot AND with the NYANG has been in the hospital longer than me, and has been on an incubator for the past 5 days!
He's younger and I'd say was healthier than me!
This thing is nuts.

Glad you are recovering, but I heard it's just a flu.

Another FA has died to it. Think that makes one pilot and 3 FAs so far. 2 of the FAs were fairly young.

lol (I laugh as a 'survivor'.. which results in it's own LOL)

For some, it's actually nothing!
For others, it's kinda like a bad cold..
For others, it is like the flu/influenza! But they still stay home and battle it out~
For some, it's bad enough to warrant a hospital stay.
For some of those in the hospital.. it's either a few days and released or it's longer, on a ventilator.

But for an unfortunate few (and that is what it is), it does lead to death.

I think we should all be honest and admit.. like 'the flu', it's out there and almost everyone will (unfortunately) catch it at some point. But don't let the news media, social media and message boards get you so afraid that you lose your sanity.

Thanks for your insight Motch. There does seem to be a genetic component to it. Extremely athletic 20 year olds have caught very bad cases of Covid. Others (even elderly) don’t even know they had it. Very strange. I guess we’ll learn more over time. At any rate, very happy you’re on the mend. Wishing you a continued speedy recovery.

I don't think anyone here takes HighFlight's posts seriously. Seems like he tries to be contrarian but then just makes a fool of himself and the profession.

Default Safety , What Safety ?

[QUOTE=Phil Laschio;3026413]The KCM line in CLT was shut down last week. They had 30 crewmembers less than a foot apart going through the normal lane. Van pulled up at hotel and 8 off line FAs packed in. They wanted to jam my crew of 4 in there. I pinged an Uber black. Hotel found other van. Where exactly is the social distancing again? I get I commute. So I have to wedge myself between Eddie Ebola and Glenda Gonorrhea in a middle seat. Especially now since only 1 in 12 flights is going to NYC from my city. But we’re riding air trains, sitting in the same rooms in hotels (so they don’t have to space us out so rooms are easier to clean), hotel shuttles, and eating carry outs from potentially asymptomatic employees. All to fly 2 legs of a four day. Really? I don’t know what the answer is.. But we should be told whether our crews are testing positive and at what rate.[/QUOTE
Yes all that Safety talk is lawyer and boardroom talk , you should be filing OSHA reports and report this egregious practice to your Union reps and State legislstors , better yet just CALL IN SICK ........
