Hahaha, good stuff!

Note: Initially it was recommended a 70% alcohol volume level for hand sanitizer wipes. If you read the back of Purell Wipes it’s 62%, come on maaan! But on the CDC site now it does say 60-70% alcohol content. Yup, we’re all safe now.

The bailout requires continuation of service, that should drastically reduce that 300 number.

That’s probably not good.

[QUOTE=DALFA;3001532]Do you think ending up in intensive care is a mild symptom? There's plenty of people as young as in their 30s in Europe that are ending up in intensive care. Most deaths are occurring in those 70 and up but that doesn't mean those that are younger only have mild symptoms.

Ignorance is what's gotten us into this mess...not panic."



Ok, but let's just make sure the cure isn't worse than the disease. How many people will suffer or die if the economy completely shuts down? Maybe more than from Covid.

By the way, it was priceless last night when Norah O'Donnell on the CBS Evening News reported the death toll in the USA like this: (in a high excited voice) "The number of americans dead now stands at over ONE THOUSAND AND......" (then in a less excited voice) ".....I mean one hundred and nine people".

How many suicides are we going to see when this recession/depression causes millions to lose their homes and livelihoods? Probably more than Covid19 will kill. And considerable younger and healthier people.

I wouldn’t be surprised if A319/320/321 fleet was only fleet flying in 2 weeks. If at all.

Yeah the T tails are probably on the chopping block. The question is will it be permanent for the 717...

What about that highly efficient 109 seat A220? Seems to be a perfect fit for these greatly reduced loads. Too bad we only have 30ish.
