Furlough Estimates

From what I’m seeing in the media, there is a fear based campaign to keep people out of airplanes. Tales of packed flights and immunologists who swear they were sickened with the ‘rona.

I was hopeful I wouldn’t be out of a job for too long. But with a public campaign to kill off the airlines, I’m now certain I’ll be unemployed for years. If not 5-10 years.

I don’t know why this is happening but it is and I can say the last couple years have been grand. Thanks 121 for the best years of my career. Too bad it was so short. I’m sorry you had to get hit by this agenda.

So this thing goes symptomatic after 7-14 days and he’s blaming the flight he was on 3 days prior?

Dude you switch from a 2 year furlough to a 10+ year furlough too much. You need to relax.

Few more stories like this and we’re toast.

It’s just one of many I have seen. It’s just the most poorly written one, that at least to me seems to indicate a sensationalist fear based campaign to keep people away from airplanes.

First of all: he tested negative FOUR TIMES?!?

Second of all: this bitch is the “virology” consult for NBC and Today.

Third of all: VIRUS THROUGH THE EYES?

There is a conflict of interest with a media consultant giving us health information.

This isn’t evidence based. It’s sensationalist.

The other stories I’ve seen are all about packed airplanes. The most packed airplane I could find for the Eskimo had 80 open seats in coach and every seat open in first class. Look how the media reacted to one flight that was “packed”.

But why can't you just trust the science....:sarcasm:
 
Exactly this. After going through 9/11 and the Great Recession, I've always been conservative with my finances. When I was a CA at SkyWest, I was still driving my old paid off Honda Accord while FOs were telling me about their nice BMWs and crazy high student loans. I did splurge on some nice things, like my mountain and road bikes. But I paid cash for them and they were relatively inexpensive compared to cars.

We have enough in savings to make it a few years on furlough, if we include UI and my wife going back to work. That definitely takes some stress off, and makes a lot of the sacrifices the past few years well worth it.

Where's the video of that RJ CA with his new X5?

And bro, like, I don't even like this car. I mean, it's fine, it's got wheels, it moves, but I'm just like, not feelin' it.

...

Well...yea...maybe. There’s a lot the medical community is still learning about this.

 
Haha...you said “mandating.” Do any of airlines have the stones to mandate anything? To the public: “We mandate masks.” To the FAs “Pax don’t have to wear them if they don’t want to.”

I'm tellin you right now the last thing I want as a CA is some bull*t fight in the cabin over mask wearership that is streaming on Facebook Live. Give me both engines out over the Hudson any day.

Yeah, damn all this sensationalist pop epidemiology from
*checks notes*
the Spanish Flu in 1919.
THE TRANSMISSION OF INFECTION THROUGH THE EYE (abstract freely available, full article behind paywall)

The first documented warning about ocular transmission of nCoV was in February, if you're looking for something more recent.
If you've got a beef with the media and panicky passengers, that's understandable. But we've seen time and again with this mess that ignoring the scientists until we prove them right the hard way is doing our industry no favors.
