100% Fed Up ^ | Aug 20, 2023 | Staff

Posted on 08/21/2023 5:16:17 AM PDT by Red Badger

According to reports, three pilots have tragically died this week.

The three pilot deaths occurred August 14th, August 16th, and August 17th.

“The first tragedy occurred when 56-year-old Captain Ivan Andaur collapsed and died in the lavatory of LATAM Flight LA505 from Miami to Santiago,” WLTReport noted.

WLTReport wrote:

A pilot died in the bathroom of a LATAM Boeing 787 while flying from Miami to Chile.

As soon as the co-pilots discovered the pilot died, they quickly enacted an emergency landing in Panama.

The pilot was identified as 56-year-old Ivan Andaur and according to a nurse on board who attempted to revive him, Andaur died of symptoms related to cardiac arrest.

LATAM Airlines in a statement wrote “On August 14, 2023, flight LA505 (Miami – Santiago) diverted to Tocumen International Airport in Panama due to a medical emergency of one of the three members of the crew in command. Unfortunately, after landing and receiving further medical assistance, the pilot passed away.”

Dr. William Makis reported on the additional pilot deaths to occur this week.

“Aug.16, 2023 – Quatar Airways QR579 (DEL-DOH) Delhi to Doha, Quatar diverted to Dubai as 51 year old senior pilot collapsed inflight and died!” Makis wrote.

The Times of India shared details:

A senior pilot – who had operated SpiceJet’s inaugural flight in 2003 and was currently working with Qatar Airways – died while flying as a passenger from Delhi to Doha on Wednesday morning. The Qatar Airways flight, QR 579, diverted to Dubai due to the medical emergency when the pilot, 51, fell ill onboard. However, he could not be saved.

“The pilot had worked with Alliance Air and spent 17 years in SpiceJet. He had operated SpiceJet’s first flight, Delhi-Ahmedabad, on May 23, 2005. Last year he had joined Qatar Airways where he was flying the Boeing 777,” SpiceJet sources said.

A long time colleague said, “He was very fit and his untimely demise has come as a big shock for everyone who knew him.”

According to US Freedom Flyers President Josh Yoder, “pilots for most Middle East carriers were mandated to take 3 shots.”

The Times of India covered the story:

An IndiGo pilot who was to operate a flight from Nagpur to Pune fell unconscious and collapsed at the boarding gate on Thursday. He was taken to a hospital where he was declared dead, said sources.

This is the third case of sudden death involving pilots this week, with two of the deceased being Indian pilots.

“This is the third pilot who has died suddenly this week alone,” Yoder said.

The trend of airline pilots suffering medical episodes has continued since the rollout of the experimental COVID-19 injections.

WLTReport has followed the trend and reported on pilot incapacitations.

You are being pinged because this death notice was important enough to have its own thread, so you have to admit, it’s important!

These are just the reported deaths because the pilots are “on duty”. All the sudden deaths that occur “off duty” are kept quiet.

Wasn’t there some supposed health related treatment that all pilots were required to do so they could keep their jobs? What was that again?

You can’t be serious. All deaths are vaccine caused unless it can be proved otherwise.

Bingo.

That they have three in one week on-duty points to quite a few off-duty that they're being quiet about.

Take three shots, the pilots were told!
Maybe that was the cause of the cardiac arrest?

It’s triple the recent statistics. If we were entreated to actual data, we could make up our own minds.

Some of us agree that the signs are there that this is going to get progressively worse, and not only for pilots.

All these pilots are of the age that ICAO and FAA mandate EKG be done annually.

The FAA has the stats, and they know the truth: there has been a significant rise in heart-related illness in airmen in the past 3 years.

Remember, the government hates you and the FAA, as part of fedgov is all about protecting itself, not you.
