Any of you folks on JetFlyers or any other information sharing method in use, need to make sure this info is being disseminated. Not just the scrubbed FCIF fluff, but the fact that almost everyone is refusing this and make sure the chance of some random, uninformed guy on reserve who never sees China finds himself in a bad position staring at the business end of a giant Q-tip. So far, the implication from much of what's come out of flight ops officially has been that it's happening, but implying we'd be real pleased if you went along with it and took one for the team. That decision needs to be made before taking off for a China destination. Don't let some idiot whose blood flows purple start setting precedent for us all by doing the lemming act and just going along.

There is no amount of money that is worth the risk of a quarantine in China after a Chinese government “test” assures me that I’m positive.

No way in hell.

777 Pilot refused test last night. After about six hours removed his China visa and he had to DH on company AC to KIX.

Yeah, the Chicoms don't like it when someone else uses the "cannot" word on them. That's their word, dammit. Try getting a visa back that the host country revokes. Best course of action on this is the same as windshear - avoidance - period.

Yet we have been risking exactly that since the temperature checks began in early February, and the union thought it was only worth 4.5 hours per layover, not even per day.

But your statement is correct. No amount of money can compensate us for the risks we are taking.

Perhaps it is time to move the hub to Osaka.

Clark would be another option. Either one would be fine.
