In my 23 years as a flight attendant and president of our union representing 50,000 others, I know firsthand the threat climate change poses to our safety and our jobs. But flight attendants and airline workers have been told by some pundits that the Green New Deal, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Ed Markeys environmental proposal, will ground all air travel.
Thats absurd. Its not the solutions to climate change that kills jobs. Climate change itself is the job killer.
Severe turbulence is becoming more frequent and intense due in part to climate change. Research indicates that rising CO2 levels in the atmosphere cause disruptions to the jet streams and create dangerous wind shears that greatly increase turbulence, especially at moderate latitudes where the majority of air travel occurs.

People have a tendency to perceive a change that has not happened. I’m so sick of people saying the weather never used to be like this. It most certainly was.

In years past the world was less populated, and there were fewer witnesses to weather anomalies.
Yes and if they did witness interesting weather they were not able to whip out their phone and take pictures and share them with the world.
“Flight crews are the pilots; flight attendants are cabin crew.”
The US government defines flight attendants as flight crew employees.
So what.
The US government is wrong as often as not.

They make the regulations. Foolish and costly to ignore them.
In this case, foolish and neutered to pay attention to them, not costly at all.
Two thumbs down.
