That I would work for C5 is among the most insulting things you’ve ever said to me.

Take it back.

That’s a stone cold fact. You don’t have to like it, and I don’t care that your feelings are hurt by that. Your general disposition, attitude, and presence is unwanted in pretty much any cockpit I’ve ever been in - with rare exceptions.

You and your ilk are a tiny, tiny minority in the aviation community - something you’re admittedly not even a part of. For that I am very thankful.
Oh ok you’d rather fly with someone that actually tells you this is my plane? You’re literally choosing to fly with this guy just because he shares your view on masks, never mind his tone of his way or the high way. Most guys I fly with are completely understanding of masks, very rarely do they say this is my plane. I don’t wear it because I know the cloth won’t save us if we’re stuck in there for hours. Point is you’re praising someone that says it’s his plane. Luckily you and this guy are in the tiny minority.

Dude you are quire a peach. Actually it has never come up as no one in the past 1 1/2 years of constant worldwide flying has anyone asked that we wear mask in cockpit. I was simply commenting that if it did I wouldn’t go for it or do you the the Captain has to do what the FO wants? It is quite telling that in the total history of COVID no other crew member has asked that we wear masks, it sort of blows out of the water your stance that people want to wear them. I would not simple say it’s my plane, I would say my stance on it and say if you felt so threatened then we can get you off so you can be unthreatened. Lastly yes after listening to your concerns about masks and lacking any rule by my company to wear them, it is my decision whether I will wear one or not. You seem to think I or others should be forced to bend to your will and that’s where my statement comes in. My only real rules are don’t bend metal, laugh and have fun around the planet and the first beverage is on me.

You asked for data and were given some but of course you discount it because you are a pathetic human being.

FWIW, I would rather fly with HiFly or Andy then 400k or knobbs. Any time any trip.

From noted right-wing mouthpiece Bill Maher:

SARS-CoV-2 isn’t, hasn’t, nor should EVER have been about absolutes - and its amazing what calling balls and strikes objectively when looking at policy gets you.

when did Bill Mahr join the right? It must have been last week. Other then his resistance to cancel culture I’ve never heard him support any right wing perspective. Bill Mahr has been a center left guy since day one. Yes he brings Republicans on his show at times to give varying perspectives but he has always on the side of the left. He claims libritarian but that’s just because it lined up with his cannabis views.
