@bluwavz Jason : what’s your career path now in the foreseeable future?
Peter : Yeah, Humm, that’s an awesome question...crickets...”

DJ? It sounds like to me he has other plans in the future. I always wondered if he became a pilot strictly because that's what was expected of him from his parents.

Otherwise why would there be any hesitation.

Maybe Pilot Pete’s uncertainty is due to the horrific downturn in the airline industry. I would imagine since he’s pretty low on the seniority list, it will be awhile before he can get back to flying.

He flew for work late last week Detroit to LAX then deadheaded back to Chicago

Planes are flying there's just very few passengers on board. As few as 12. 9, 4 . but here's always a full crew, Pilot and Co-Pilot . It's possible that the pictures of him on the plane this week in plain clothes was him dead heading to another airport to work a trip. jmo

I think he confirmed flying for work.
Yes, very few passengers reported to be on most flights even though flight numbers have been reduced. Internal flights are still required to transport some mail, packages, and other goods some of which would be medical and required quickly. If everything only moved by land imagine how slow it would be. That’s why pilots fall under essential workers.

Jolena, there really aren’t very many planes flying ... I worked for a major international airline and still have friends flying. Each airline has greatly reduced their schedules ... anywhere up to 90% reduction. I agree, those few flights that are operating have very few passengers.  It’s astonishing to see how much the flight attendant schedules have been reduced.  It’s very stressful for them, wondering how long this reduction will last.

Also, these airlines had the most reductions:

Exactly right. I also meant to say few planes flying as well as few passengers. My son also works for major airline , so sad to see this happening and yes, very stressful .

Jolena, I hope your son will not be affected too adversely. I am so glad I’m retired from the airlines and don’t have to deal with any of this.

I just found this article about Delta ....

He's not with Delta but his airline is offering leave of absence's . So he put in for one starting next month.,but still has to finish out his reserve until the end of the month, but hasen't been called in the past 10 days , last flight he worked had 4 ppl on board . I pray things get back to normal sooner rather then later.
