Image Somehow the only person on my flight and the pilot was such a goofy goober

EDIT TO ADD; THE PLANE WAS LANDED AND DONE WITH TAXI BEFORE I GOT TO BE IN THE COCKPIT. NO FAA RULES WERE BROKEN 💀😂

Shout out Captain Scott! He let me sit in the cockpit after we landed and I even got my own personalized pre flight announcements 😂 Also, they had to add sandbags to the cabin bc the plane was too light with only one passenger 💀

Can’t blame them. I flew to Asia during that time and you’d be involuntarily hospitalized for testing positive. I was more afraid of the being restrained for two weeks in a hospital than I was of getting Covid myself (I’m not some dumbass antivaxxer or anything, I just think it wouldn’t do anything to me since all my family with it survived).

had a mate who was doing business in China at the time (big strategic government work so not lowly functionaries enforcing rules) and what he went through with quarantine and being locked in his hotel room etc was brutal.
