That guy is a sad excuse of an aviator. Any reason for not permanently grounding him?

Kudos to that guy, We have all trained for these events during flight training, but to keep a cool head in a high stress situation is something different.

It's reassuring to know that airlines carry masking tape in their standard emergency response kit.

I agree ! However , the automation / HMI will always be the bone of contention . These days pilots rely too much on automation . When I began flying it was about the basic aviate - navigate - communicate paradigm . That is no longer the case whilst automation calls the shots and the poor pilot is wayyy behind automation and incapable to analyse quickly what just has happened . Put the genie back in the bottle . Where it belongs . Anyone on airbus ?

Workload is high during takeoff and arrival procedures but not at long hail cruise . That is their rationale. However , there is always some potential during cruise that requires sound CRM process . This will not go past pilot unions ! Especially due to current layoffs !

Totally agree ! And the cost benefit of reduced crew bears insignificantly in relation to the balance sheets of flight operations !

Yea, the virus seems to be more intelligent than flight attendants and mask wearers. The little critters behave well whilst the passenger is eating and when he's done then they immediately re-activate. They whole thing is a farce. And peer reviewed scientific research has shown that masks do not work for viruses !

Well, at least they now have progressed from having a wooden superstructure. They have now common ground and still problems !

And if I don’t care about getting infected I still get penalised for not wearing a mask. Your argumentation has been therefore destroyed . And if you consider an IFR of ~0.26 (distracting the morbidly aged and other co-morbidities ) then you don’t even have a pandemic !

Who in their right frame of mind would want to do this?
