I understand ALPA is not the CDC list. I think you’re looking at the CDC website wrong. If you get to the section you can pull the country down and select. You will see the current Level 3 which matches the bulletin the company put out on the 22nd. For our LAX777, SYD and HND are level 3.

 

By Easter. Because it’s a beautiful day.

 

Nope, I’m looking at it correctly. Did you do a search for Japan or Australia before posting? Have you found any country specific Cv19 warnings in the last 24 hours? Are you sure you are looking at the CDC and not the State Department? State Department still shows country specific warnings. As of this posting a country specific search on the CDC site reveals a level 2 warning in Japan for Rubella and no warnings for Australia. Italy does not return any warnings either. There wasn’t a drop down list on my iPad, just a field to type in a country name. My assumption is there are no country specific warnings for COVID-19, because the entire world is covered by the global Warning Level 3 for COVID-19 on the CDC website.

Have you seen any country specific Cv19 warnings at the following link in the last 24hrs? They had country specific listings yesterday, but I can’t find any today. When did you last review the CDC country list?

So if the US is level 3, can a reserve tap out of any domestic trip and return to long call?..

(asking for a friend)

 

When your friend hits “press to test” please report back with results.

 

Serious question,

Can ALPA not collectively, as our representative, just say we are standing down until the threat level to crews has been diminished through 1. Proper PPE worn in and around the airports, 2. Proper nutritional availability at both airports and layover hotels, 3. Proper transportation with minimal grouping/maximum social distancing 4. Reduction of CDC NYC from quarantine inplace/Level 3 warnings. Everyone of us is thinking pretty much the same thing about the futility of trying to manage any semblance of a schedule and I imagine most of us are starting to be concerned about catching this and brining it home to our loved ones. I realize our 4th floor guys are working hard, but ED and the lot aren't ubering between crashpads and walking around the streets looking for food in arguably the most dangerous place on the planet right now. Just random thoughts...anybody?

 

I’m concerned. I’m doing my best to be hyper vigilant with keeping my hands clean and keeping my hands away from my face. The more vigilant you are the more you realize you’re constantly touching things that many others have touched. It seems overwhelming.

I would love to be better informed on exactly how this thing is transmitted, is keeping my hands clean and away from my face enough??? I brought a pillow on my last three day. The last thing I want is to be the guy that brings this home to loved ones.

 

One of our biggest threats is getting infected while on a trip and then showing symptoms while at home.

Not only do we possibly infect our family when we return home but being conscientious professionals we call in sick but cannot realistically claim an OJI because where we became infected cannot be determined (even though it's most likely happened on a trip).

While most of the younger Pilots will shake it off some of the older ones may find this career ending.

 

This x1000. I couldn’t agree more with you..,,It’s getting stupid out there. IMO Alpa is missing the big picture in regard to the Safety and Health of flight crews. They have however acknowledged that ASAPs are trending significantly higher...duh.

 

Agreed. Currently commuting to JFK to sit for 4 hours before a DH that I couldn’t deviate from because all the cancellations. Then operate back to JFK. Land at midnight. At least they provided a back end hotel at JFK
