Edit: I found something but it mentions "qualification" training. I'm going to re-establish recency (which expired) so would that be "qualification" training?

The answer is YES I get the extra 4 hours of pay! I emailed the Dalpa Training Committee and, after a little back and forth, the upshot is both myself and my Seattle based FO got the extra 4 hours of pay added to our time cards today. Thanks to JC on the Training Committee!

Wouldn't this be a good time for the company to diversify its portfolio? I know they probably don't want to layout the cash now but what would be the cost versus payback on making some of the 757s and 767s cargo aircraft instead of sending them to be beer cans? We have the aircraft, crews and maintenance. We've worked with these aircraft for years and cargo seems to be a never ending need. I know, don't say it. Somehow there is plenty of money in cargo for operators like Atlas etc. The pax side can grow through new aircraft when demand comes back.

Short term we are gonna go through some tough times but I am starting to believe that we truly have been built better than other airlines to withstand this and I think a year from now going into summer 2021 we are gonna he full steam ahead

It seems like having a handful of converted jets would be a good hedge. Full disclosure, I'm a pilot.
