This is damage control to cover for the blatant lies told to the FJ pilot group in an attempt to soften the benefits and compensation reductions that they are understandably going through.
He’s on the other (almost defunct) board spreading the same BS. Claims to have a friend on the “inside” feeding him info. He can’t even get the simplest details right. IB is agenda driven...like you alluded to.

His retribution is his own life life now. At least he still has some income unlike the many, many millions who have already been totally let go.

NetJets has worked with the FAA and is now allowing pilots to wear face mask while flying. Homemade have to be a dark color and you can't wear something like the N95, just a simple face mask.

Luckily we have some anti-viral mask left over from when my wife had pneumonia a few years ago and I starting using those today when I went out to pickup food. We're on day 15 of the hostage crisis and since my wife has underlying issues that give her a 20% chance of death if she gets the virus I'm having to run all the errands. I wear glasses and one problem with the mask is my glasses momentarily fog up when I exhale. That would be a bigger issue if I was still flying.

You should look into the various delivery services out there for groceries etc. A lot easier to clean and sanitize a package than it is to make sure you've maintained perfect minimal contact on an errand run.

Have you tried any of the anti-fogging stuff?

Side note, if you’re near other members of our pilot group I’m betting we could facilitate something. Feel free to shoot a message at the family committee. They may be able to help you get some assistance if need be.

Neg on the anti fogging. I remember having the same issue when on the line doing preflights with my "Nanook of the North" gear on (I've never lived north of the Mason-Dixon line!). Although I'm out on medical for a diabetic medicine I take I still do 4 miles per day on an incline trainer and have no obvious health issues caused by the diabetes. And I rarely get colds, my body saves up it's negative energy for the big stuff. I haven't had the flu in decades. I've been wearing gloves for the past week and today started with the mask. I've been making too many supply runs thou, about every other day. I need to consolidate to once or twice a week.

One thing to think about folks. Medical Power of Attorney. My stepdaughters are driving here this weekend with a copy of my wife's DL and POA forms in case they get stopped. We're going to set them up with Medical POA's in case both my wife and me wind up in ICU at the same time.
