it’s not about the protest. It’s about wearing a mask and social distancing.......unless you are protesting. Then shame the people going about their lives as the ones that are killing everyone.

it’s hypocrisy at its highest.
You're the one who brought "protest" into this thread. And then two posts later you say it isn't about protests. MOP...focus man. Focus. Doesn't matter if you're wrong or right on this even though I know you're wrong. It's about us collectively doing what we have to do to move people around the world. You don't have to convince the board. You have to convince the folks in the places we fly people to in order to make money.

As for United, not sharing their furlough plan before last Friday confuses me. Same way that I am mystified by their apparent lack of interest in ESLRs, early outs, and the A220.
Man, you went full on reddit reply on me. You for the win.

mind on the prize? Is your prize a fourlough? Because that’s all you can talk about even before this mess.
If a furlough is a prize I have multiple trophies. You think I'm trying to rain on your parade. I'm only trying to help prepare you in the same way others prepared me before I gained my own experience. I'm not your foe. Please believe that. Many here know me and my moniker and can vouch. Even when we disagree I'll fight for you. Not trying to pi** on you. Just trying to teach.

sure cram thousands of people together in the middle of a street screaming and yelling shoulder to shoulder, many without masks..... while our elected officials say stay 6 feet apart and wear a mask.

let that all happen then tell joe dirt he’s the problem because he walked into a grocery store without a mask.

i can’t make it any clearer to you. It’s not about WHY they are protesting it’s about the fact they let it happen. The elected officials broke their own rules. It’s like me telling you to fly SOP and hammering you in an MV then flying with you on the line and not doing anything SOP. It’s hypocrisy and you can’t fix stupid.

I know I’m not your foe we are just consistently on the opposite side of the argument. It takes people on opposite sides to advance a conversation. Many on this board know who I am too, and they know my passion and my optimism.....hell we have probably met. I’m not mad at you if I was I would ignore you, I’d be happy to have a beer.....I’m easy to find.

I’m convinced COVID will die out when everyone stops talking about it. Looking at you, mainstream media.
Covid 19 will die out on Nov 4.

I sent you a PM. I've known who you are. Your post, and your last few, are so far off of what this thread is about. Furloughs, right? You're reaching. At not only your detriment. Ours. Step back and take a breath.

Yeah, right. The CDC provisional death numbers paint a different picture than you want. Here, look at the real numbers: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/index.htm

It was my fault for throwing my grenade post in this thread. I, like all of us, am floored at how far the industry has fallen in the last few months.

I see permitted protests, a Seattle commune tolerated for weeks, and tacit approval of all this nonsense while I’m told my kids playing in the park playground is bringing murder home to the grandparents. Oh yeah, and wear a mask while you’re social distancing.

This whole things stinks. And unfortunately a few of us are going to get furloughed.
