Maybe someone hacked her account or she has dementia. Replacing tires after 10 flights isn’t feasible for general aviation or commercial airline flights..

My last commercial flight (Delta 737-900 last week) was on it’s fourth landing of the day when I boarded.

After delivering me to my home airport, it still had at least one more takeoff and landing for that day, for a total of six cycles in just one day.

No way any airline can afford to operate with tires that have to be replaced every other day.
