That's good to hear.Many of those flights will be cargo.
Large airlines like Emirates, Etihad and others have suspended all passenger flights.
When ever i go out or visit the Butchers etc etc im the only one wearing a face mask.. It just baffles me that more people are not... Weather there is a debate regarding their effect, I dont know, but just out of respect to others i wear one...Round our way there are a lot of people who still do not think this is real... I notice the Media are using the word Tsunami to describe the virus in London ....
If people thought the recession and subsequent austerity was bad, then the aftermath of this will be significantly worse
And me, I will just scrape in, just under a year to go, I'm going to spend it all on my LC, if we are aloud to dive by thenI think the SP age is heading in that direction anyway. I just scraped in with my birth date to get mine at age 66. Anyone a year older will have to wait till 67 and those even younger, 68.
As far as you and I have a bit of a different outlook, I do agree with you with regard to the 'Guardia Civil' they can be a bunch of thugs, I have had a run in with them, I think some of them are a throwback to the days of Franco.As Spain finishes its second week of restrictions stories are emerging of frauds & companies taking advantage of the crisis.I had a call yesterday from a company that had seen my CV on the web & asked if i was available to start immediately & asked about my welding skills (MIG & MAG ) &if i was up for 10 hour shifts (compulsory overtime , paid at flat rate) i asked about pay & was told it was a labourers job....but labourers don't weld...that was the end of that.
Workers in manufacturing in the Basque country are planning protests today asking to be sent home , as the government has said it will pay most of the wages.Companies are resisting ,more concerned about profit than the health of their employees.
Fines here for being out without "good reason" start at 200€ & on up to 6000.But major call centres are open - had a call today trying to get me to upgrade my mobile package - along with the construction sector & a local road project still going full swing.The law has been framed in such a was as to be vague & if the copper you meet is having a bad hair day or doesn't like your face.... The Guardia Civil have visited the local fruit & veg shop & ordered the owner to throw away all the plants he had in stock "so people don't do a veg garden" irrespective of their lack of powers to do this & seemingly forgetting that lots of us have gardens on our properties or others with large balconies.
This sort of bullshit is in danger of undermining the mostly excellent sense of responsibility & solidarity shown so far.The most egregious cases of restrictions breaking are given wide publicity but the failings of the government less so.
No they don't.As a volunteer in civil protection they're my fellow workers & on an individual basis 90% of en are fine but as an institution they're very much us vs them.In a tragicomic turn of events some years ago policia local were on strike in Madrid & held a demo without permission & the Policia National turned up & beat 7 bells out of em.As far as you and I have a bit of a different outlook, I do agree with you with regard to the 'Guardia Civil' they can be a bunch of thugs, I have had a run in with them, I think some of them are a throwback to the days of Franco.
Just for the record, I'm not saying that they all act like thugs.

What happened toy your wife is totally unacceptable , absolutely no excuses.I?d be interested to know how management & the public responded.
Did they drive the hire van like they stole it.+1 jj. Neighbours giving thumbs up to each other.
Great spirit and shoe of thanks.
Found it odd that a bungalow across the way which has had the sold board up for months, and been empty had its owners move in today ? How did they get a hire van?
Good Luck, Stay Safe.Well I'm back to work Monday, only 2 of us in the workshop out of 18! Manager and parts manager only.
We have a recall on the police fleet to do and essential/safety work on key workers vehicles.
We have to wear masks and gloves at all times, safety glasses when inside/driving a car.
