BTW, there is no mention of this on either the Bonvoy or Hilton websites so ....

Ok. You'd think they'd mention something to their loyal customers.

In all seriousness, this is going to be a huge challenge to try and find hotels to put crews in. Certain cities are closing all hotels, like Miami.

I don't know how we keep operating unless certain hotels can stay open for "essential" services
Well that’s exactly what they are doing. The Miami order excludes essential workers including airlines.

Start running “augmented” domestic flights. Keep going until you’re back at your domicile, by using 3 or 4 pilots and rotate them.

Gonna need some LOAs for that, and would be shocked if any even gained traction.

I thought we were trying to cut costs? 3 or 4 crew to get 17 people from Boston to San Francisco. Not quite...

You should have gotten an email from each hotel chain. I know the Hilton website is rather vague with their COVID-19 link.

Easy fix... cancel the transcons, have everyone connect in Denver or Chicago.

Trust me.....I have ZERO interest in that suggestion. It was just an idea of how to solve the problem that was brought up. Hopefully, all our companies get the aid we need, and then we can just shut the whole thing down for a couple weeks.
