Finally, don’t like the system here? Think we have too much “freedom”? Move to a country that suits your needs! No one is stopping you. Heck you guys could probably still commute to your airline job after this C19 shenanigans calms down.

I know. The politics are starting to wear my patience thin so I decided to point out the way your omission made it sound like they just looked at you but in a formal-sounding manner. Anyway, MAGA or whatever.

Slow news day.

Also, I’m increasingly wondering how many pilots understand the math that is “percentages”

The TSA % numbers in isolation are worthless.

So while I believe the majority appear to want to "go slow" it is because that is what the media has told them to think. Do you honestly believe that John Q public looks at the numbers or data like what Phins posted re CDC and NYC. I certainly don't see it on the major news channels. I also don't see the % of deaths from elderly care facilities in hard hit areas like NYC/NJ, hmmm.

Flatten the curve? Posh. my wife mentioned deaths among children, I asked her where she got the info. "News", she replied. So I showed her the NYC number about deaths in the 0-17 age group. Didn't even register on the bar graph per 100,000

The point is, while you are correct about people and planes, it could turn quickly if it were not so politicized. 95%of media is all about "orange man bad", not reporting facts. The results are reflected in the polling.

OBTW....when you are giving prolly 50% of the populace free money, they are more than willing to keep it on a slow roll. You have already "bought" their polling data especially when you promise them 3 Trillion more

BTW...Where is my free money? Go to the mailbox anxiously ever day looking for my check.....effing rats, must be stealing my free cheese.
thats an easy one— your free $$$ is in your cares act funded ( govt assisted ) paycheck that many of us would already not be getting..want to trade your 72 hr check for $1200 and unemployment? Didn’t think so

Thank you for proving my point. The "have nots" generally think the "haves" owe them something. I don't want to disappoint you so I will give you a free piece of advice. Actually I will offer up 3 options for you to consider. 1st...(in my caring motherly voice) "Oh, honey, it will all work out because you are such a nice boy and so good looking". OR ...choice number 2...(in my fatherly tough love voice) "quit yer whinin' ya p*ssy, pull yer thumb outta ur butt and go get a job...any job, it'll make you feel better about yerself".....OR choice 3....come to my town, there are lots of businesses looking for help. Numerous "Help wanted signs".

BTW.... I will give 35% of each dollar I make for the rest of the year to help fund YOUR cares act endowment. When they send me mine, with Trumps name on it, I will send it back. Ditto for the next one if it says Pelosi.(I'm not holding my breath)

This could be good news. There are about 620 Billionaires in the USA. The top 400 are worth about 3 trillion $$$. We can confiscate All their wealth and pay for the first Cares Act. We can then take all the millionaires money/net worth try topay for Pelosi's Heros Act.

See, plenty of money to pay for things. Fear not...manna from heaven I tell you, manna from heaven.

On the good news front...the company is asking 2000 Res employees to come back starting with a 2 week notice on Tuesday. If they don’t get enough volunteers they will do it via inverse seniority.

Minority party voters in any state may be more likely to vote instead of staying home as well.
Exactly! Why would you even go vote if you're a conservative in Chicago?
