Time to write to the MP

I am going to write a quick email to my MP about this and request that he get an explanation from the Department of Transport of how it is that in the age of isolating and shielding others from this dreadful disease that crews can be subjected to increased risk of redundancy if they dare report sick. Probably find if you dig deep enough into the weeds of the business you will find an AME or two looking through pilot records helping the business select pilots for the chop. If you don't feel well don't go to work. If you feel stressed about the threat of redundancy don't go to work. If you feel that you have to go to work due to fear of being dismissed maybe stepping away from the industry for a while will probably be a good thing and when the market recovers telling the airlines to go ....themselves.
