But after a hundred years of seeking one, we still don’t have an influenza immunization that is much more than 50% effective, and that in a good year. In a bad year it might be only 10% effective. And that’s in 2020 too. We MAY get an effective vaccine for coronavirus but it’s certainly not impossible that we won’t get one.
And even if we do it’s likely not to be any time very soon.

I’m not saying the virus and the unrest aren’t serious in their own right. I’m saying the popular media across the spectrum is acting with the same level of integrity found in used car sales, and it’s difficult to deal with real problems and manufactured problems at the same time.
Sorry your trip got cancelled.

Many of us are about to have to compete with 50 million, give or take, people for a job that will cover our living expenses without needing to raid our savings. Some of us will be left without a carrier to which we can expect to be recalled.
We've wasted hundreds of pages arguing why and that is open for some debate. Those who don't see it as an exestential threat to pilot career expectations are frankly delusional. A few will ride this out relatively unscathed but most are going to be negatively impacted and some quite servely.

also, due to early outs, Alaska, and southwest aren’t furloughing. Delta probably won’t either. Now I know, that is only 3 airlines, but every seniority list was supposed to be gutted on oct. 1. There is some positivity out there, that this may not be as devastating to pilot careers as once thought.

Look at all the Facebook Karyn’s selling $30 inflatable Walmart pools for $200+...that’s concerning
