May 12, 20206 yr Tons of small businesses and a good number of big businesses are not able to survive the shut downs and economic fallout of this pandemic. Very sad.

May 16, 20206 yr The issue will be starting up after such a long down time due lost training. I know at my airline the issue is going to be the pilots annual line checks. The 90 day recency can be done in the sim and has been . Our sims have been running each day, 18 hours a day doing pilot recency checks for T/O and landings. For guys missing their 3 landings in 90 days and opc/lpc Pilot Medicals have been extended 6 months by the CAA, but... the big issue is going to be annual line checks. Our tre/tri captains can obviously only be either in the sim doing recency or opc/lpc, or out on the line doing annual line checks. They can't be in both places. The problem when things start flying again is the flight crew are all going to be out of Check, not out of recency. Edited May 16, 20206 yr by fluffyflops
