Hey, question for you UPS guys/gals still flying into the hot zones. Are you required to stay in your hotel room for the entire duration of your layover in any countries? Our pilots (FedEx) are now required to remain in their hotel room, only getting room service, in TLV, PVG, and CAN (maybe even more that I missed). One horror story layover is scheduled for 7 days in CAN. Trying to figure out if everyone else is required to do this, or just us.

You have to stay in your room, they check your temp several times a day and you can order food directly to your room. Interesting times. :-/

With all the changes happening almost hourly are guys waiving the contract? Crew scheduling asked us to waive the other day on an international leg and we said no even after they tried to bribe us. Got a call from an ACP who was shocked we wouldn’t help them out. I’m “ no waivers, no favors” all the time. I figured everyone else was too?
