From: Looking left
PWA says "lowest paying position for any aircraft in revenue service listed in Section 22.B"
Yes RJ-900 is listed there, but so is 747-400 Capt....DL mainline doesnt have any RJ-900's in revenue service (EDV does) so wouldn't it be at B-717 FO rates?

I know there has been a lot of comparison to 9/11 and 2008 to project what to expect in this situation. But is it possible that this could be a very different scenario? Looking at the data so far the death rate for ages 50+ could be 2-4%. Many pilots are older and fall squarely into the risk factors that make this virus deadly. For older pilots on the board are you considering this factor? Does it make sense to fly a 63 year old pilot in the middle of an epidemic that specifically targets that demographic? A seniority based system does seem at odds with this particular crisis.

Yeah, I think about it.
But:
- The mortality rate is closer to 1% +/- 0.5%.
- I’m not obese (a big risk factor) as are 45% of Americans.
- Don’t have any underlying conditions.
- I don’t smoke. Many older Chinese men do and died at much higher rates. 4-6% or so. Older Chinese women don’t smoke much and were about 1.5%.
- I don’t plan on flying much or going out much. Reserve, SIL maybe.
- 63 is not 83. A surprise to some apparently.
- I still have two lives left. I think.

I think I read somewhere, the CDC recommends a 70% alcohol volume level, maybe that was only if you're drinking hand sanitizer.
