AVA
AVA for almost every seat and an FCIF to not bug CRS because they are overwhelmed. Looks like a good time to not fly extra. And I know there will be someone to tell me the contract isn't amendable until 2021, but we should be talking now. We should be reaping some of the benefits of flying extra, and the hazard of flying into Covid China. We got an FAA 60 day extension to when we have to do our sims. The Union should be all over this and guys should be flying the minimum.

The seats that were offered Vacation Buy Backs and AVA appear to be all fleets that could potentially conduct international flying in response to the increased demand of the Coronavirus.
HKG B767 CAP
HKG B767 F/O
EUR B757 CAP
EUR B757 F/O
MEM B777 CAP
MEM B777 F/O
LAX MD11 CAP
LAX MD11 F/O
ANC MD11 CAP
ANC MD11 F/O
MEM MD11 CAP
MEM MD11 F/O
This appears to be more of a strategic move to have all hands on deck. Same goes for the Currency extension and cancellations of numerous Recurrent Training events. Doubt it has much to do with “not bugging CRS”.

they need an extension on medicals. Doctors are swamped. I am having a hard time doing some required yearly tests for class 1.

FAA
As I mentioned last week, ALPA had asked the FAA to extend the duration of FAA medicals. We anticipate this week that the FAA will issue a policy memo extending the duration of unrestricted first-class and special issuance medicals by 90 days."
