In reality we have WAY more pilots than that who have/had it and don't/didn't even know it.
They showed up a day early, ready to record...clearly nothing more than an attempt to sling mud and attempt to resurrect a dead cause.

I wonder if the company can get it's hands on some of those Abbot Labs machines that test in 5 minutes? I for one would LOVE to have the entire crew tested at sign in. Assuming it works, and there aren't thousands of "false positives".
As I understand it, those machines are tailor made for our business model (a small group/crew that needs a quick test); they're much less useful for large populations that can be more efficiently processed in a lab.
Good luck getting one, however.

And a commitment to refine and improve cabin sanitization even after all of this is done, plus cockpit cleaning/sanitizing anytime there is a crew change on a plane.

I have spent the bulk of my career being pretty ambivalent towards ALPA. I rarely go to meetings.
Having said that, I am VERY impressed with our latest response to the company’s blatant attempt to shame us in front of the other employees. I have seen this movie several times before. Hopefully this strategy will give the movie a different ending.
Shame me once, fool on me. Shame me twice; I won’t fall for it this time. (Apologies to “W”)
