British pilot Pilot Peter Lugen, a British Airways airline that is out of business due to the Corona virus, has started delivery of orders as a temporary measure at Tesco, the online grocery store. Pilot Logen gave up flying a Boeing 747 to drive a car to transport groceries to the quarantined Britons.
British Airways has suspended all flights at Gatwick airport and has reduced its services at Heathrow, while the pilots' salaries have been reduced by 50% for a period of three months, and they are required to take two weeks of unpaid leave in April and May.
Soon Logen's friends praised this behavior, and someone wrote to him on Twitter: "This is a great job, Peter. I wish you a quick return to your plane." Another said to him, "What a great star, you are a great example."
This is the second time that Logen finds himself without work in several months.
Logen worked for DHL for 3 years before the company went bankrupt last September, and he moved to British Airways for four months, before flights stopped around the world.
Marine Watson, founder of Logen, was working in the cockpit of the company "DHL" and is now working on the front lines to combat the "Corona" virus in the hospitals of Thurrock University.
British Airways has granted leave to 36,000 of its 45,000 employees, including cockpit crews, ground crews, engineers and employees who are now receiving 80% of their salaries from the government.
