15 Months Ago, a Delta Pilot Left This Note In the Cockpit For the Next Crew. It’s a Reminder of How Far We’ve Come

Jason Aten - 15h ago

The world may really be getting back to "normal."

March 2020 will one of those points in time that separates our lives into before and after. If, for no other reason, because very little that we remember about life before March 2020 is the same as it is now.

In many ways, it's like September 11, 2001, for those who are old enough to remember. Of course, the difference is that the world changed for literally everyone last March as the Covid-19 pandemic spread across the globe and governments told their citizens to stay home.

In a blog post, Delta Air Lines shared a note written by a pilot in what we might now think of as the before time. It's an almost eerie reminder of how little we knew then about how much and how quickly the world was about to change. It's also an important lesson about being optimistic about the future. We'll get to that part in a minute.

The pilots had just arrived at Victorville Airport, also known as Southern California Logistics Airport. The name isn't important. What matters is that it's in the California desert, which is where you take planes you aren't planning to use for a while.

That reality had started to set in for the pilot who wrote the note.

Hey Pilots,

It's March 23rd and we just arrived from MSP. Very chilling to see so much of our fleet here in the desert.

If you are here to pick it up then the light must be at the end of the tunnel. Amazing how fast it changed. Have a safe flight bringing it out of storage.

At the time, everyone thought it would only be a few weeks. That turned into a few more weeks, and then months. Now, 15 months later, pilots returned to Victorville to pick up the Airbus 321 that had been parked for 435 days. What a surreal feeling that must have been. What a surprise to find that note.

About time. I don't guess they would listen to we retired pilots.  It seems that the Delta family is gone.

Hi Mark,

Thought you might know what to do with this news report, as DAL is requiring all new employees to get the jab and probably pressuring current employees (pilots) to get the vaccine also. THIS IS HUGE!…..

THREE(3) British Airways pilots have DIED of the COVID vaccine in the past 7-days, and BA are now in crisis talks with the UK Government about whether or not their vaccinated pilots should be allowed to fly.

This presents a big problem because around 85% of all British Airways pilots have already been vaccinated.

Enjoy your email PCN newsletters to retired pilots and survivors.

Thanks so much,
