Dear NTSB,

Dear NTSB,

Thank you guys for the investigation work so far!

感谢你们到目前为止所做的调查工作！

I am (b)(6), an undergraduate student from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I am also a private pilot licensed by both FAA and CAAC with abundant flight experience, so I know the background story of China aviation under the pandemic, and I would love to provide some insights.

我是 (b)(6)，University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill 的本科生。我也是同时持有 FAA 和 CAAC 执照的私人飞行员，具有丰富的飞行经验，因此我了解疫情期间中国航空业的背景情况，并愿意提供一些见解。

Due to the "Zero-Covid" policy in China, the CAAC administrators restrict both domestic and international flights, which negatively affects the income of airline companies. As a result, aviation-related employees such as captains and first officers receive decreasing payment, while some of them have very few flying hours.

由于中国的“Zero-Covid”政策，CAAC 管理部门限制国内和国际航班，这对航空公司的收入产生负面影响。因此，机长和副驾驶等航空相关从业人员的薪酬下降，其中一些人的飞行小时数也很少。

To answer an earlier question, we received the notification of the accident on Monday 3/21, the day of.

回答之前的一个问题，我们是在 Monday 3/21，也就是事故当天，收到事故通知的。
