2.) Contact tracing = Lawsuit? C’mon man, give me a break. I flew with 4 different crew members last week. Had 7 Jumpseat riders. l slept in 3 sleep rooms. Used 4 different toilets in the ASC. Maybe 8-10 crew vans. 4 hotel rooms. In your example. Where did I contract the Wu-Flu? Probably 14 days prior to that from my Amazon delivery driver or the other 15 gazillion other possibilities. Lawsuits require proof. How are they going to prove where they got it? There is no way to prove anything associated with a virus unless you are locked on a cruise ship or aircraft carrier for weeks at a time. Not convincing or legal. Try again Bubba.

3.) Don’t even see a 3rd argument, legal or otherwise.

I’ll wear the stupid mask at work just to avoid the NURP harassment. I’ll also know it doesn’t make a bit of difference on the spread one way or another. It didn’t make a difference when I returned from PVG in March (No Mask) It didn’t make a difference when I had a someone on my J/S who was coming back from SIK in April (Still coughing but who had to return to work because they were on probation).

Just a question? When do we stop wearing the mask? There is no end game here. Just continued fear mongering. It wasn’t required in Jan but I bet it will still be required next Jan. Nothing was different then, now or will be different.

Rest assured, I’ll be providing relief on my J/S because it is BS and I still get to make that call.

after flying all day with some completely self absorbed people . I’d like to add this.

it’s not about you. Get over it and Wear the masks.

dont care if you thinks it’s a hoax, don’t care if you think it’s a ploy to get Biden into the White House. Don’t care.real people (some younger than most of us) are dying, and it’s starting to spread though our ranks. Wonder why...?

I listened all day long to “I’m not worrying about getting it”. Well numb nuts...the problem is..you may get it and give it to maybe 2-4 people before you figure out you have it. And those people may not fair so well.

so...get over the stigma, get over your self absorbed ego and start acting like the professional they pay you to be. And while you’re at it, think about this. YOU may do just fine...but what if you give it to someone that takes it home to their immunosuppressive family member, mom, dad, daughter. Son..

unfortunately for cases like this, there is no cure for the complete narcissistic state some of our fellow pilots live in. It’s all about ME....

rant over, carry on

And that's okay.

We sit every other seat on crew busses and limit crew vans to four crewmembers now because the powers that be say that maintains social distance; how would that be acceptable but the far left and far right jumpseats on the MD (or Airbus) aren't?

I don't think we're as far apart on this topic as it seems...it really isn't as complicated as its being made out to be.
