COVID 19 refuse to fly?
All guidelines point to the pointlessness of operating commercial flights, particularly to vacation destinations.
Begs the question, who is going to be the first to refuse to fly based on federal, state, and local guidelines? |
Based on what I see hitting open time at my airline, I think pilots are already refusing to fly to the higher risk locations.

So what do our guys and gals do in the California domiciles?

Yeah, stay away from CA, much better here in HKG. Just passing thru, but I gotta mask and a paper towel for my stateside doings.

New York has 4,597 (about half of the US total). Washington has 1,187. Both have smaller populations than California. California has 652 cases but has a population of 40 million. That doesn’t even put it in the top 10 states for infections per population. Georgia has 262. Population 10 million. Illinois has 288. Population 12 million. Louisiana has 261. Population 4.5 million. New Jersey has 427. Population 8.8 million. Connecticut, Massachusetts, Nevada, Wisconsin, and several more because I don’t care to keep doing the math all have a higher percentage of infections per population.

California has a way lower percentage of cases than many states. Let’s stick to the facts.

They have people in the ICU on ventilators who are symptomatic, but as of yesterday they are not allowed to test them because the local requirement is symptomatic and known contact with someone who tested positive. And with no one other than the rich and famous being tested it creates a Catch-22 for most of the population. This is in a state that the CDC shows with less than 100 cases. |

Why don't you? Be our canary in the coal mine, so to speak. If you've got the conviction to, that is.
