I'm hopping that there aren't too many leaves given for the flight attendants so we can adequately staff the operations so we can fly the full schedule instead of having to scale back like in August.

Every airline will furlough. This is the most difficult time the airline industry has faced and not to mention this virus is completely out of control in the US. It's going to take years to recover. If you're wise and junior you better start planning on a different line of work for a few years. If you're at a regional and not getting furloughed you better plan on being there for many many years because the majors won't need pilots for awhile.

We aren’t given the percentage of testing and positive cases per capita. How much testing did China do where this damn thing started? Is China doing antibody testing to find out how many had it that weren’t tested? So many variables to discuss and compare. It should come as no surprise that positive cases increase as testing increases. But to you and the media that equates to “this virus is completely out of control in the U.S.”. Regardless if it truly is out of control or not, that’s what we are being lead to believe. And that’s what is killing our economy and the airlines.
