There’s a thread on SkyHub about it. A company rep in on record saying this is what Flight Ops says. No official publication about it, however.

I check the weather forecast every morning and decide between pool day, office day, yard work or "honey do" list. If the wife has made a recent curbside grocery pickup, I'll bias toward the "honey do" list in expectation of a culinary payout.

Many won't go back to work until the "free money" runs out. The sooner we stop paying people to stay home, the faster we will recover. I'm amazed by the amount of handouts for both individuals and businesses.

Im no conspiracy theorist, however the main stream media sucks. They're so biased. Its about ad revenue. Whatever sells.

In Connecticut 60% of the COVID deaths are in nursing homes. They flash the DEATH TOLL number all over the screen. Like these people were walking down the street and got hit by the Alien death ray sniper thats just come from outer space. STAY IN YOUR HOUSE OR ELSE!!!

I blame some leadership too. I wont mention any names DONALD TRUMP! But hey, you wanted chaos and "shake it up," so now in a pandemic, this is what you get. Sorry to go political, because Im quite Republican in principle but Trump is an idiot. Its personal. Not political. Its fueled this media frenzy too. Especially in a Presidential election cycle.

Are people really getting sick? Yes. Is there a real threat from a virus we cant control or fully understand? Yes. Have we lost control of society with no preparedness, plan and leadership? Yes. There will be fallout, politically, economically and socially.

I'm always reminded of Agent K in MiB....he had some great snippets of human behavior:

J: "Why all the secrecy? People are smart, they can handle it"

K: "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it"

Later on:

J: "We ain't got time for this coverup BS. Don't know if you forgot, there's a alien battle cruiser about...."

K: "There's always an alien battle cruiser or a death ray or an intergalactic plague about to wipe out life on this miserable little planet. The only way these people get on with their happy lives is they do. not. know about it."

Umm, did you not read a few posts past these where I was keeping everyone updated on the back and forth statements from the company on this? Show where I said I didn’t want the help or was ungrateful for it.

And I personally am impressed with the positive space gesture (whether just to work or not). No complaining here. It’s a win win for all parties involved to get through this craziness.

Indeed, although there are people like WhiskeyDelta who will still whine about something that's beneficial for the pilot group.
