I've heard mumblings that WUP isn't looking at involuntary furloughs for at least a couple months (cross your fingers!). Reach out to scheduling or your supervisor with questions, and don't wait until the last minute.

Was there an actual memo about taking all the stock off the plane? The only reason why I knew is because I listened to the last conference call. Also the cleaner which they mentioned in a memo called Puracyn is actually a wound and skin cleanser. Has there been any explanation why this was chosen?
I’m glad they started to address the airline problem as both my flying partner and I had a rental to drive to the plane this tour. On the other hand the lack of communication and transparency from everyone above me is embarrassing.

As far as the Puracyn thing goes, I asked my sister who is an RN and she said if it’s good enough to clean open wounds then it should be effective in killing any viruses on surfaces. I’m guessing it was just one of the more readily available products.
