I don't spend all my time in the Bay Area, dude- in fact, since all this BS started I've been away from home more than I've been home.
NOBODY I've talked to in those 4 States wants more of this, and seriously the only person I've even "talked to" of that even KNOWS someone with CV is someone on FT.
I just did 3 segments in 24 hours and each segment had ~95% pax loads on the available seats, some ~210 people. The world is a much bigger place than FT and its resident Cassandras.

In general use of the term, Cassandra's warnings, which went unheeded, proved to be correct.

It's a free country- if you want to hide under the bed from the CV bogeyman, that's your right.
Just leave the rest of us alone so we can get on with our lives.

Especially when you won't even bother to take the most minor of precautions.

Not close enough. There's lots of prophets of doom, but unlike Cassandra they are usually high. Try this: "Cassandra was actually right and everybody died."
Sort of like, "Noah was right, and everybody who didn't get on the ark drowned."
BTW I appreciate your honest description of the flights you were on, and I'm not being sarcastic. That's why I was reading this board.

You just can't wrap your head around the fact that people are OVER this crap, and WN knows that too, so it's an honor system with regards to masking.
(I'm loath to say this as I'd already mentioned which flights I'd taken in other threads and don't get anyone In trouble, but guess where the most of the seated FAs masks were when I'd walk by them on the way to the lav?)

I think WN has snookered the other three airlines. They are flying more planes, more passengers to more locations than the other three, possibly combined. And with no exposure to International Travel they would be the last of the four to belly up which I do not think will happen.

Close..... I would think that someone that does not GAS might just fart instead. Seems logical.
(by the way, if you do not know what GAS stands for and are thinking of asking here - let me introduce you to Google)

I'm going to go with "Great American Smokeout" and move on.
Thanks
