How about we extend a quarantine forever on the slew of meaningless air cargo award events?
We have been thinking about awards as the air cargo award party bonanza threatens to begin anew post pandemic after this global COVID-19 lockup ends.

Here from our files is the late Richard Malkin at 105 years of age recalling his coverage of the 1948 Berlin Airlift.
