Flew ORDCLE last Tuesday. Maybe 20 people on a 737-700. Drove back.
Here in Illinois the Governor issued a shelter in place order yesterday. Unbelievable. 5 dead in Chicago....that would be a pretty good weekend at any time of the year when talking death by gunfire in this town. I have to wonder what the people downstate are thinking. Fortunately the highways and airports remain open so there is every chance I can escape back to Ohio next weekend.
My wife works retail and her store closed Monday for ostensibly 2 weeks. Since she is full time they will pay her out of her vacation bank but I would be highly surprised if the store reopened on time. One caveat, if she travels by plane/train/or bus the company will require she self quarantine for 2 weeks at her own expense.

I totally get you there. I work in hospitality and was let go today. So yeah, it's pretty f*** up. I'm not entirely surprised but I'm surprised it went so quick. I mean we're just at the beginning.

Yep, just amazing how fast it all came about. Not a month ago we were talking about having a record year financially. Now I am packing up the apartment in Chicago. Been waffling on whether to just retire or gut it out. Going to take it day by day. Right now the next big milestone will be what the government bailout looks like and when it will arrive. If it doesn't happen this week, I expect some major layoffs.
I am so glad my daughter and I got that last trip in to CPT. It is looking like that will be the bright spot travel wise for the both of us for the rest of the year.
What's the point of an open door policy if inside the open door sits a closed mind?
