AA has given options to their pilots to take a voluntary leave of absence this year. But no word on how we will be affected yet. Supposedly there will be some sort of airline bailout package, but no details as of yet. I hope I'm wrong in all this, but now is the time to start planning and preparing. Especially those on the bottom 50% of the seniority list.

all of this is correct except the first sentence. Who ISN’T discussing this? It’s the only conversation I’ve I with anyone for the last few days.

Taken from the DFW LEC Comm just sent out:

At this time the Company has refused to entertain negotiations for protections specific to your increased risk of exposure.

This is completely unacceptable in the current climate. We need information and protection to do our jobs. The company is dropping the ball big time right now. If this thing starts spreading around between crews at work because the company does not have procedures in place, we will all pay a very big price.

yup I emailed the union about this all they said was sorry cant help ya, this is well outside our scope. Guess my union money will continue to go towards LVA stickers and free drinks down in Euless as usual.

Porco Rosso

In all seriousness, that's ****ing absurd. That's the first company negotiation I've heard that hasn't ended with "here's a tool to help if you get impacted by Covid-19."
