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.

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
