Exactly.

This entire forum is going down the tubes with these self-sbsorbed, look-at-me-here's-what-I-think thread-starters. We're almost as bad for even responding.

In other news -- not widely reported by the media -- Tom Hanks and his wife walked out the hospital yesterday.

So Rita Wilson and her husband are OK now; having survived coronavirus? But, but, but, isn't coronavirus almost certain death? That's what I keep hearing from the expert forecasts...
Of course we didn't hear much in the media … if it bleeds, it leads. No blood, bury it on the back page.

There is a guy on the UAL forum who is doing the same.

These forums are allowing people to just post and create fear mongering threads while the site’s owners have ads for $10 bottles of mini hand sanitizers and face masks....

I guess social responsibility ends at the all mighty buck

Was it fear mongering when I told guys on your forum not to buy spirit stock at 25 because it was going to 10 and they should save their money?

Haha...you’re walking piece of contradiction to your own hysteria.

Keep posting every need article you see and twisting the headline to fit your narrative. Mods in this forum are clearly in a bunker or are only triggered when they see the word Trump in a tweet and then they throw out infractions.

Actually they both succumbed.

The rwo people in the media are actually cleverly made up doubles. Its all part of the disinformation plan to avoid triggering mass-er hysteria.

Hows that for a conspiracy theory?

It is helpful
It’s not.

a lot of guy are burying their head in the sand.
Still not helpful.

There are active subs about interviews and class dates for the next month.
Ah, you mean relevant discussions based on company and union communication, not sensationalist, repetitive, non industry specific linked articles grouped under speculative and misleading thread titles?

Still not ‘helping’.

just wondering do you think your airline will furlough.
Maybe.

That's why it's in Hangar Talk, this subforum will be the penalty box for topics of this nature.

Careful, you're both on thin ice for criticizing mods in public (if allowed, it gets out of control).

I moved the thread here rather than deleting it because it does not technically violate any Forum Rules. If you don't like this kind of topic, stay out of Hangar Talk.
