Maybe!! Seems kinda low

And even considering a conservative fatality rate of 0.5%, that means 73 delta pilots will end up in coffins because of COVID.

I’d be willing to place a rather large bet that won’t be happening...,

I guess my question will be, in the end, what did delta gain by risking the lives of the aircrew and other personnel by not shutting down operations in NYC. What's the response from the leadership to the spouse and family of a dead pilot (or anyone) from a low risk state, that catches corona in NYC, and dies or kills a family member because they bring it home. If but not for the night after night layover or bus ride in and out of the airport said person would be not likely to catch anyth hing. Operations that fly into and leave NYC maybe, but layovers and daily commuters should be kept to a minimum as an idea to minimize exposure.

I would like a real count from the company.

How many pilots?
How many FAs?

I think we deserve to know. It’s a data point in risk assessment.

It's a reasonable request.

Every state has a tote board, I think our employer should too, but... None of the number are or will be accurate because you can not get a test to confirm covid-19. Just assume today = a lot, and tomorrow = a lot more.

I think it's interesting we stop flights to Beijing and Shanghai (pretty far from Wuhan), yet we still fly into NYC which is an insane hot zone currently.

very enlightened man, perhaps you should pay attention youngster

NYC is in vogue right now cause they’re the poster covid child with 30,000 infected. — Give that 1-2 weeks. LAX, SFO, ATL, MSP, DTW, SEA, SLC, and CVG will all have robust infectious numbers in excess of 30k.

I will bet against that, you're a drama queen with no basis in fact

:rolleyes: ^ he doesn’t know math

I'd take that bet except testing is very light and non-hospital cases aren't getting the test. I think we know who to thank for that.

Im in South Florida. Hot zone here. It’s been great! No idiot drivers out on the way to the grocery store. I love it! No joke, with the lack of traffic I’m probably way safer now then before the virus.

Coronavirus could kill 81,000 in U.S., subside in June - Washington University analysis https://reut.rs/2UlKvWz

This analysis predicts up to 162K deaths. Nothing to sneeze at, but hardly into the millions as many on this forum have repeated. And that’s their worst-case scenario. I think Corona might end up being the Mad Dog virus. Starts strong, but once you turn on the anti-ice it’s pretty much done.

From the coronavirus document for pilots on the flight ops page:
Why working crews are exempt from certain self-quarantines:
... We also have to treat nonrevs like the general population, which across a broad population lowers the risk.

So doesn't that mean commuters non-revving from NY to FL are directed by an official government capacity to quarantine? Doesn't the exception only apply to WORKING crew, not leisure travel, which non-revving is?

My understanding is that the exemption for “working” crews includes those going to/from work.

How fast have the company test results been coming back?

Thinking about getting tested at the front end of a 4 day trip but I don’t want to get stuck somewhere if it comes back positive.

The serology test came back the next day. The swab is still an u known because the portal to view results was difficult to sort out. Speaking of the portal, if you don’t check it during your trip, you won’t know the results.

I was told 3-5 business days. It took 2.

Great thank you!

I want to get tested to see if I have the virus, but don't want to get stuck quarantining away from home if I do. I should simply not seek out the results and continue to fly with a fellow pilot(s) until it's convenient for me to get the result.

My advice would be for them to pick a time of testing where they won't be working while awaiting results.

What’s the difference? I don’t have any symptoms I’m only taking it because the company wants us all to take it. If I scheduled for a later date that’d be no different from not looking at the results right away.

Do you reasonably believe that you might be sick, and have a likelihood of being stuck out?


And you’re going to work anyway?

You do you, but if you’re actually worried that you have contracted Covid19, then you shouldn’t be at work. Period. Don’t put fellow pilots and employees at risk if you honestly think you’re at risk to test positive.

Got antibody results next day. The diagnostic test results took 11 days to come back. Tested at SEA.

I don’t have any symptoms. I’m testing because the company asked all employees to get tested for a baseline.

Took me 48 hours for both test results in LAX. I did it after finishing a trip.

I did mine in MSP the first week. Got both results back from Mayo the next day. One came in overnight (less than 24 hrs) and the other just before COB (about 30 hours). This was, however, several weeks ago, early on in the program, and MN wasn't having the delays that they are today. YMMV
