This is nothing like the eighties! We now live in a world run by the inmates and the COVID has become nothing more than an opportunity to reset the world into their image of equity over equality.

If it were only as simple as getting another job.

So triple up your selfish mask and ignore the suffering population around you. Hey a dive or two always bring a clear perspective to everything.

What a joke!

My last commercial flight was in February 2020 returning from a dive trip. Diving is fun and I miss the three or four trips out of country to pursue this sport but it’s not essential to my wellbeing. In fact, not dealing with airports, airlines, fat people in skinny seats and other negative aspects of commercial flying, has demonstrated that not participating in dive trips isn't much of a sacrifice.

In the early 80’s I was furloughed for nearly five years, in fact, the whole group of us that were hired in the late 70’s, eventually received our walking papers. We did not get federal financial aid nor expect it. We weren’t considered essential then nor is it now. In this industry sh!t happens! To mitigate this development, you did what any patriotic American did... go out and find another job. It might even require dusting off the resume and pursuing something besides flying.
