(Excerpt from halfway down): According to flightaware.com, 120,000 cancellations per year is the average for global flights. An average day would see 329 cancellations. A 2 day average would see 658 cancellations. But between Friday and Saturday, 3,533 cancellations occurred. That’s a 580% increase in cancellations globally in the past 2 days.
It might if you can provide even the most tenuous link to vaccinations.
Was there an increased rate of blood clot-related illnesses in pilots who got the A-Z shot over the same period?
Is there a more plausible explanation, like bad weather in several parts of the world?
When they hear hoofbeats why do anti-vaxxers first think...unicorns!... instead of...horses?
That link was an offer of helpful information for anti-vaxxers—not pilots grounded by weather.
The second link has this: "The first few weeks of June have brought unprecedented weather to our largest hubs, heavily impacting our operation and causing delays, canceled flights and disruptions to crew member schedules and our customers' plans," Shannon Gilson, a spokesperson for the airline, told CNN. "That, combined with the labor shortages some of our vendors are contending with and the incredibly quick ramp up of customer demand, has led us to build in additional resilience and certainty to our operation by adjusting a fraction of our scheduled flying through mid-July."
The third link is this: https://www.thelocal.it/20210615/travel-why-are-airlines-cancelling-flights-between-the-uk-and-italy/?amp Not much in there about pilots.
The link to pilot vaccinations is speculative. It's possible but there's no data to back it up in any of those links, or even qualitative support for the idea. The rest of the Colorado Herald piece is speculation and innuendo.
This is the same kind of lame excuses we've become accustomed to seeing from you trolls.
You quote the NY Slimes and CNN as dispositive.
What part of "pilots already have a heightened risk of deep vein thrombosis" and "pilots talk to each other informally" don't you get?
What part of "insurance companies don't want to pay for claims if an airline pilot strokes out mid-flight" are you incapable of following?
What part of "if news of this gets out the airline industry will go bankrupt because people will panic" is too difficult for you?
Bodies everywhere.
See my post #63 this thread.
And, “bad weather” — causing a 500% increase in two days?
Go find a trade rag and see if there was ever a 500% increase worldwide, even with Hurricane David hitting Miami-Dade or a super-typhoon hitting in Asia.
It was a sorry-ass excuse for an insult.
Because the truth is coming out about the crimes against humanity.
When did I do that? Your Colorado Herald article links to the NYT. I can't see the link because it is paywalled.
What part of "if news of this gets out the airline industry will go bankrupt because people will panic" is too difficult for you?
You are speculating. You could be correct. You could be wrong.
A rather nasty subplot in a underwhelming movie.
I got the Moderna vax and have had zero issues. Just sayin’.

It really does not pertain unless you are an actively employed PILOT.
It might if you can provide even the most tenuous link to vaccinations.
Exactly what I said/asked is worth looking into.

You just proved what a tool you are, no mojo.

Or flight attendant...
Yet.
Yeah, well, you're not a pilot, are ya. :^)
What are u ..a pro vaccine nut?
/s
I think its not without issues for some....
But also not nearly as bad as the vac obsessed here feel
My aunt and uncle...mid 80s ..had both Covid first and the vaccine later
They didn’t even notice the vaccine ....two phase
They don’t want us to travel anyway.
Australia, England and Canada are falling under Communist control and have mandatory ‘Covid Hospitals’ for those who dare to travel when warned not to. Upon return, you are forced into a Covid hospital. I just posted a YOUTUBE video yesterday of one such quarantine area at Heathrow where one quarantined was ordered not to talk to people across a chain link fence. You see, you can’t talk unless you are told you can, because you returned from travel when/where they didn’t want you to travel. Free Speech is only for the obedient.
That’s a 580% increase in cancellations globally in the past 2 days.
What's the normal variation from that average? Once the author answers that, he *might* start to make the case that this is due to vax issues.
You think it's more likely there were 3,200 pilots who got the A-Z vaccine (most probably months ago given the rollout in the UK) and were afflicted with blood clots over those two days, yet we're not hearing about it from any other news sources?
One airline alone, Southwest, cancelled over 1,000 flights this past weekend due to bad weather in Denver and Dallas.
Private pilot.
