WVU has sprayed Covid at whatever airport you need to fly to that’s closest to Morgantown (Pittsburgh?)

Yes—thru American Airlines. They “pull” a plane (or two — for bowl games) out of the fleet.

M. Basketball generally uses Hillwood (Ross Perot’s 737) out of Alliance. Huge benefit. W. Basketball generally uses Baker Aviation out of Meacham.

Flying has been made safe by using strict guidelines at the airport and in the plane.

Me too. It takes a little extra time to wipe down the first class seats, but no big deal.

I usually have a flight attendant do that for me. Sometimes twice just to be safe
