Yes, our industry is volatile. Sure doesn't help when media and social media are setting a narrative with the intent to do harm.

When a vaccine is available next year, a year of experience treating this, and ACCURATE numbers of mortality are available, the industry will rebound. It is too costly for Delta to furlough short term. I was furloughed in FM II. When recalled, I got 3 months back pay, plus the furlough pay leaving, and 3 to 4 months of pay while waiting for a class. That cost Delta probably way more than what they gained for the 6 months I was out!

There will be no furloughs, this virus is gonna ease away just like the others and things will be back in business. Don't let the media fool you, because they're doing a good job at it right now.

So much ammo here you gave me, but I must refrain as I don't want to be on the end of a ban 🔨
Let's see how this bug shakes out in 4weeks. Get back to me then.

The new lockdown may help slow the virus from spreading further -- but some, like the Lombardy president, fear it is "still insufficient" given the sheer scale and speed of the Italian outbreak.
