The other day I received an email from my cell phone provider. They wanted to share with me what they were doing to protect their staff and me, their customer, during the COVID-19 Pandemic. I sort of chuckled to myself because I really didn't see the value or point of their email. Maybe I'm insensitive, but there comes a point where customers are inundated with emails about COVID-19 and quite frankly enough is enough- I get it- everyone is washing their hands. This pandemic has certainly taken a toll on our country and around the world. Like most people, my family is managing the best we can. In times like these, it's easy to let the grooming slide.

In my regular line of work (pilot) I make decisions all the time. Making a decision is not always an easy task. You have to look at the situation and gather all the resources you have at your disposal to make the right decision.

After careful consideration, I decided to maintain our existing rates for the month of January so that I could properly assess the potential impact this would have on my company and more importantly on you, my customer.
