Have you ever been through a blowout in the industry before? They happen. Deal with it. At least this time the industry is in the best shape going into it that we could have ever hoped for. Go jump on a treadmill and burn off that nervous energy instead of flipping out on here constantly.

I guess going to the corner Chinese restaurant for the snake pie is out this week.

I’m saying I side with the actual experts over the wine-drunk propagandists and conspiracy theorists of your favorite media outlets.

I am convinced most people don’t know what the experts are saying. Medical stats are being twisted to fit anyone’s agenda.

Based on the age stats of who dies, the only group that needs to worry is the over 60 crowd.

Pretty easy to read and understand it yourself directly from the CDC and World Health Organization.

I’d imagine more people have died on the road to the airport so far this year than those that have died from Corona virus. Nobody seems to be too concerned about those deaths. But yeah, let’s all tighten our belts and prepare for massive losses this year because of a virus that is 80% of the time presenting mild cold/flu symptoms.

I believe people do care how many die in car accidents. That’s why every year for decades the safety standards of cars have exponentially improved. If it makes no difference then rip out your airbags and collision avoidance systems or buy a Ford Pinto.

Look, I get it. Your Rush Limbaugh’s and Fox & Friends push the message of “this is just a cold” and “sure people are dying, but it’s not you is it” and “this is just an attack on our president.” I’m not here to change your minds because I think most are thoroughly broken anyway; however, I would suggest try to be an adult. If this kills someone you care about I doubt you’ll be quoting car crash statistics to anyone.

In the short term UAL will be offering reduced credit lines where pilots only receive 50 hours of pay but are OFF the entire month. For UAL it beats paying 73 hours for RSV pilots that are not used and there are pilots that are happy with reduced pay for known time off.

And the COLA offering for April was the for the most positions I’ve ever seen. Just about every BES can take a full month.

Wow. Express a different opinion from yours and you are a “broken mind.” You must be a joy in the cockpit.

Right, what the experts are saying is very concerning. The economic impact of this could be immense.

Out of our control... wash your hands and limit exposure... and hopefully you secured your investments 2 weeks ago.... if not your going to lose 15/20% this month.
