Dear PCN (of over 2600 subscribers),
2020
is turning out for some active pilots as looking very similar, in many ways, to
2005. 15
years after our “big event” here comes a new one. In the below Misc section you will read a
number of memo’s and letters that really address the crisis of today’s
airline. Let me just say, prepare
yourself, because it ain’t pretty.
The
cure and the disease – Was the cure worse than the disease? The answer to this question will depend on
who you ask. Ask someone who has lost a
loved one and you may hear that we didn’t do enough. Ask someone who has lost their business
livelihood and income and you may hear another viewpoint.
We faced a health crisis to be
sure. But if we let the doctors run our
economy, which holds everything else together, then as a liberty loving nation…….
we are doomed! (see what is happening to
our company and the airline industry
later in this edition). We have to have a better plan than shutting down
our economy the next time around.
Stay
at home day ??! Yeah, that’s right, it has gone
on so long I have no idea how long we have been at this. But please make it end! I want
normal life back!!! Nice little rant,
but believe me I could go on. When I hear things like “it will never be
the same” or “welcome to the NEW normal” I cringe. To suggest we cannot shake hands or hug
strange women, that is far too much to
expect. This has been long enough in a
weird world and it has made me stir crazy for sure. How about you? Are you holding up?
Half way through “30 Days to
Slow the Spread”
Well, we are about half way through the “2nd”
stay at home order and on day 31 of the American shutdown, so I was wondering:
How are you doing? To be honest I am going
a little stir crazy. I finished almost
all of my ‘honey do’ list and looking for jobs to do. What are you doing to pass the time? What are your thoughts about the whole
shutdown? Share your thoughts about the
4 time reduced model predictions of total fatalities? What do you think about
the sacrifice/harm to our economic engine to fight this pandemic? All opinions are fair and all will be shared
if you send ‘em in.
Tax Day Shift:
Yes, this High Life is coming to you on the traditional April 15th
Tax Day but as you all know it has been moved to July 15th. Yeah!
PCN subscribers:
I certainly do not need to tell you that since we formed the PCN
that we have lost a lot of good people of whom many were subscribers. 1554, is the number of those whose death
notice has been archived on the PCN Flight West page, as of this post. That is a lot of very very fine people that
we have lost. Our goal is to notify our
group and provide a lasting tribute in honor of their life at PCN Flight
West.
Well, with that said, some of you may wonder how our level of
subscriptions has been impacted. In a
very real sense the numbers of subscribers, 2670, has remained virtually the
same as it was shortly after the merge forming the PCN of my old Retired Slug
Network and David Robert’s list back in 2009.

New PCN subscriber Sign Up:
As you most of you know our PCN is a private subscribed to
online community. We maintain a list of
that virtually eliminates spammers or other online undesirables from joining
with a simple sign up procedure, so the applicant can be screened. I am very happy with how this has worked as
we can be assured that everyone on the 2670 member list is legit.
If you know of a pilot who wishes to join our community and
receive our notices they can easily and
painlessly become a subscriber for FREE by simply filling out the SIGN UP form. If a current member vouches for a friend and simply sends in their former Delta
position and email, I have always considered this an appropriate vetting and
added them directly to the list.
Thanks for helping the PCN remain the largest retired Delta
pilot online community and for helping keep our mailing list made up of all
legit subscribers.
+++++
PCN sends out the High Life in 2 ways
via a Blog page and a PDF file. But the PCN also
has a website with helpful information archived. Check out some of the elements of the PCN
Website like:
Thanks for checking the PCN Web Site
out and please report any page that needs an update!
