Full pay till the last day! Delta doesn't even know who we are when it comes to profit sharing. They make it abundantly clear we aren't Delta. I have no desire to sacrifice anything to help them since they have snubbed us so many times and for so long. TFAYD!

And ditto. No...

Does anyone else think it's kinda strange for an airline to be conducting almost all meetings via teleconferencing while trying to get the public to fly? Shouldn't the airlines be leading the charge back into the sky by showing there is no danger? Why are we doing everything remotely and whining about how we have no passengers?

So with about 43 from about 2000 pilots it appears that 2% of "those on the front lines" have been infected. All recovered so apparently the fatality rate does not apply.
Does anybody have a guess at what percentage of the pilot group has been tested? I was tested once (negative) and scheduled for another test but had to travel on the day.
If the % tested goes up dramatically do y'all think there is a correlation to % infected?
When I was in Vegas I noticed a significant number of people removing their masks to have a suck on a cigarette and then blowing the smoke everywhere then putting their mask back on. It convinced me masks do nothing to flatten the curve.
I haven't heard serious shortages of intensive care bed space lately either. Is the pandemic over?

I would also argue that Delta is trying to save money by doing things virtually.
