The symptoms seem to pretty vague, brain fog and malaise can be caused by depression or just feeling sorry for yourself. Plenty of US athletes have gotten it, would be interesting to see if they have any performance change. There is also a case report published of two patients (of 300 odd) who had COVID infection confirmed at the time using PCR, but who never developed antibodies that could be detected using an antibody test. The point is, don't take anything for granted. The virus didn't exist at all 18 months ago, and in that time mutations are also changing the way it might impact the body. |
if it was of any concern we would have millions and millions of people all around the world totally debilitated by their covid recovery. We don't. That's why there is no serious concerns or urgency to study it. Very small proportions of people will have lasting ongoing issues, just like serious influenza cases. Sorry, nothing unique about Covid. |
Maybe Ruperts Rags don’t cover it, but unbiased news sources continually present articles about people suffering from long Covid.
as 43inches mentioned, there seems to be a complete misunderstanding to what this actually entails. |
Back to Virgin, are any flight crew still completely stood down ?
|
No, all pilots now stood up to 75 % for the next roster and even a few lucky FO’s on 100%............go figure.
but it could all change if another ‘catastrophic’ border closure happens |
I believe they are being keep below 100% due to continued lack of Cabin Crew

Slightly OT, but former VA part-owner SQ has started selling off and leasing back their A350s and 787s after their recently announced losses. The name of the lessors were included in the media release.

Max. |
Is there not hundreds of 737 rated Tiger CC they could make an offer to and get online pretty quick smart?

I think the problem is a lack of qualified trainers to run training courses.Remember they were very happy to get rid of staff in the beginning.They didn’t care about the experience level of people going out the door.😆

They're not worried about that - kick that can down the road, just like the budget - someone elses problem in the future. The current plan is keep city lockdowns going when they get 1 or 2 cases of covid

Yeah! Why can’t we be more like India, the USA, UK, Europe

So much for JH much lauded experience in managing a loco. Its always the same problem. To make money you need planes flying, to make planes fly with pax you need ground,crew, engineering crew, cabin crew, and tech crew. Each one of those categories needs to be trained on the planes that make you money and that training costs money and takes time. Management usually stop thinking at the first statement. If JH was indeed the saviour of Virgin then you would think that she would understand the rest but the reality is she doesn't.
