Airline Pilots Feeling "Rusty"

Not really the best headline you want to see.

Commercial pilots blame pandemic downtime for in-flight mistakes

https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/pilot-mistakes-pandemic-downtime/index.html

One of the most serious issues identified in the reports was a plane that landed without permission from air traffic controllers. The pilots of that flight were overwhelmed with turbulence and other distractions while approaching the airport, one of the pilots wrote, and they "forgot to obtain the landing clearance."
"Since COVID-19 breakout, I was not flying as frequently as before," that pilot wrote. "I believe this was factored into this incident."

Another side-effect of the hysteria.

If you fly up here, I will take you off the list.

Seems like a problem that free money to the airlines can solve.
