also directly from SV in an email from the union.

How is that possible.

living above your means doesn’t have a set income level.

be interesting to see if we furlough what happens with open time. If history is a guide it won’t be pretty.

Now is when it really hurts to have a May recurrent date. I was looking forward to taking it!

Union reps have confirmed that "position" means seat and base.

Divorce. Illness. Sudden death. Bad business partners. Failed business. I mean, the list is practically endless.

Yes, there’s any number of personal disasters available to derail your finances, but by and large it’s poor money management.

Usually a combination.

But you know why divorce is so expensive?

...because it’s worth it.

LOL. And actually, studies show that one leads to the other.

usually leveraged toys

hah. thats pretty funny

7 hours and counting for Dot to process I think this is a new record....Also wondering it the lines will go senior. Buddy at JB said they went senior over there.

If they go senior it's more jobs saved as they are the most expensive labor. As well if your older you may just want to stay home these days. Should be a win win

It went senior at Jetblue for April. Doesn’t mean it’ll go senior for May and so on. The amount of people that can afford a 20-35 hour credit hit for consecutive months I’m guessing is much smaller than just a one month trial.

You can only participate two months in a row. You can’t loose currency /90 days. Soooooo.... not everyone that wants to do it can.

I got the Rona, after my quarantine is up and I head back to work, cant wAit to not worry about spending 30 mins wiping stuff down........clearly it didnt matter

Did you wipe down the checklist? I always remind the sani wipe folks after they run the before start checklist. Since I have a kind heart, I’ve mentioned it before hand lately.

You’ll immediately get the flu when you stop sanitizing

I made a conscious effort to wipe down everything, checklist, logbook, sun visors etc. Water bottles that were given to me etc...... Looking back though, I didn’t sanitize the buttons to move my chair, or my seatbelt buckle etc. it’s nearly impossible to sanitize everything.

of course there is no guarantee I got it in the airplane

100% 😂😂😂😂
.....

Maybe I missed it but did you take a test and officially tested positive?

yes.............

if you don't mind - can you share your experience - your approx age and health status would also be appreciated
I think many of us will get it over the next couple years - just want to know

But you also live in the New Jersey area, right? Maybe you picked it up around home and not at work. I mean JoeyMeatballs, Chimpee, and SAABoroowski have never been known to fly (work) all that much anyways. ;):D

Glad to hear you're recovering well.

sure

39 (no underlying issues).
last week in the AM felt like I was coming down with a cold,(Monday) that night started to get a minor headache and felt my heart rate increase a little bit. Was slightly short of breath, Nothing scary but just kind of noticeable. Went to bed and woke up at 2am with a pounding headache, took my temp and had 100.6° Woke up (Tuesday) and headache was still there, temp was 100°. By Tuesday night the Temp and headache where gone but still felt tired and Achy. Wed was the same, just little achy, was able to schedule a Test Thursday locally at a Drive thru testing center. (The test was not nearly as bad as I was expecting). Got results yesterday.

for now I have just minor congestion but have had zero sense of smell or taste since Friday morning. Have no idea when that’s going to come back. Also noteworthy that I did not have a cough. I’m pretty sure a significant amount of people had this and just never knew it.....

hahha, this is true. Lotta filthy people here in the Garden State 😝😝

glad to hear you’re doing good. Where are you based? I find it interesting that we don’t hear about positive cases in our pilot group or flight attendants from our union or chief pilots.

glad you’re feeling better and it didn’t hit you too hard. Did the company require you to give them documentation that you were positive in regards to the MOU?

I think a lot of us have had it the past couple months. I’ve had two doctors say they are 90% sure I had it and considered me positive but couldn’t get me tested as it was at the beginning of March and testing wasn’t ramped up.

^^^this.. same here. Was diagnosed with a “virus infection” beginning of March.. no testing available. So SOL on the sick time used.

So 50 hr lines...
 

My PCP said, “You’ve had the flu shot, you basically have every symptom of COVID19, and you travel for a living. You certainly have this virus and need to isolate yourself until you’re feeling better.” This was before anyone really knew what to do and the tests were not available. So I called off and went back to work when I felt better...

Yes...........

thanks for sharing the story. clearly this virus has lots of levels in people it impacts etc. glad you made it out of it. Of course as well its impossible to tell where you got it from but no matter.

you only get protected btw for 2 weeks right per mou?

Thanks for sharing SAAB. Feel better. How long do you have to wait before you are not contagious?

There are tests to see if your blood has developed antibodies against it, meaning you either currently have it or have had it at some point. I had a similar experience as yours last month and ended up in the urgent care. Unfortunately I didn't have any sick time so I ended up dropping some flying but am curious to see if I did in fact have it. Maybe we could file a grievance if we could prove that we had it and missed work because of it.

7th day after initial symptoms and 72hrs free from fever. My family has to stay inside for 14days after that. Wife is not pleased, lol

Were you able to keep your wife and kids from getting it as well? Or is that still TBD considering the long period it can take to show symptoms? My main concern is giving it to my family if I catch it, or vice versa.

TBD.....Been taking everyones temp frequently and slowly going up but everyone feels fine so far

WAG, but here goes. The gubberment pays NK to keep pilots employed at 72 hrs/month until Sept 1 (or whatever the date is). NK receives grant money for such and then convinces 1,000 pilots to be paid for 50 hrs/month for a net PROFIT of 22,000 credit hours per month (round, round numbers) and then furloughs the bloody !@#$ out of everyone with a fatter cash balance than they started. Am I missing something?

Yes. The stimulus money can ONLY be used for payroll. There is no time limit on its dispersal so I suppose you could offer reduced value lines, furlough a bunch and then have the payout last longer before having to make payroll out of company coffers.
