Stay Safe
Didn’t you join the pilot group who were trying to take legal action against VN for LWOP? A bit ill advised in a pandemic.

It is 400 plus per diems and the way I see it stopped VN going bankrupt while keeping pilots current. Salary improvement is coming.

It a whole new world. Using savings is up to the personal circumstances. Bear in mind its a commuting contract so no provisions are in it to provide private schooling for children. The point of a commuting contract is families are supposed remain in the home country.
