I'd think that an employer would be very cautious about requiring business travel to most parts of Asia (and a few other countries/states) right now. OTOH, Mr Kipper might enjoy a two week paid vacation at home when he returns.

I hope everyone's having a tremendous Tuesday.

He might, but I probably wouldn't.

Do you mean that you're not already formulating a list of household tasks/projects he could do during a fourteen day self quarantine? Such a lost opportunity.

Some things never change despite 74 empty seats on my ATL-PHL flight.

In 1D but had to put my bag over row 11 because of bins full in Uber exclusive FC.

I will unashamedly gate-lice (louse?) when I'm seated in bulkhead for that reason.

Typically I do as well but connection time didn't allow it.
I did survive the ordeal though.

I didn't have a group shown on my ticket today, which normally means I'm in the last one. But then I got upgraded so it all worked out

I can't sleep and I'm hungry. I just ate a bowl of cereal, but I don't know if that's enough.

My planned upcoming travel is essential to my MQM balance. Is that a good enough reason?

ok, I stand corrected ...
“no non-essential business travel” is gonna seriously cramp the style of a lot of FTers who depend on OPM for their MQDs

(and no, OPM in this context is **NOT** the govt agency )
