The VAX refusers were probably among the best pilots as well.
How many grounded because the vaxx wrecked their heart?
The feds destroyed the airlines and it takes time to rebuild the industry.
It’s no different than any other industry that gets hit with the equivalent of a 5.0 hurricane.
Americans invented air travel for the masses, and dominated airline construction nearly completely since its inception. It seems fitting that the Left wants to destroy it.
Personally, short and to the point, when the various airlines mandated vaccines, the lost soooooo many pilots, and they not coming back.
Q: Has there been an increase in the percentage of pilots flunking a flight medical since the vaxxes came out?
The answer to that might give us a clue.
The problem is the Vaxx mandates.
The many of the pilots are ex-military receiving 20 year retirement benefits from the military.
They don’t really NEED to fly airplanes anymore.
They have moved on to something else in the corporate world or simply semi-retired.
Pilots are an issue but the spike in the cost of fuel is really hitting the airlines hard. They are cutting back on flight schedules to make sure every flight is nearly 100% full. It seems that every flight is fully booked
Apparently the author isn't aware that Brandon dramatically increased the baseline training required to get a commercial pilot's license, past the point where the baseline training is now prohibitively expensive for most.
Thats what happens when you mandate a medical regime. The vax refusing pilots just left the room. And you know what? They had good reason.
I am waiting for a new Start up airline called ,” Freedom Airways” and it would have NO trouble recruiting pilots.
Right now the airlines are wearing the crap they caused.Looks good on them.They lie to the public. They have to reduce their services and stop cancellingflights thay cannot ever make.They have become frauds.Many of them should abandon routes they can no longer service.
Major airline companies could be training pilots and solving this shortage ....if it was real. But it’s not real. Pilot shortage is an excuse for a real fuel shortage. The fuel shortage has tripled jet fuel prices.
the airlines and Corrupt Media, also want to blame anything but BiteMe’s America Last Energy Policies...
After all the airline restructuring, piloting in not as lucrative and respectable as it used to be.
About the difference between Chuck Yeager and a bus driver.
The airlines got many pilots go, now they cannot get new ones.
There have also been bunch of strikes and sick outs.
America is a huge, complex country/society. It’s destruction isn’t going to happen overnight, although it’s happening much quicker than I thought 10 years ago.
Most systems and institutions are broken.
Even though we feel we have “wins”, the drip, drip, drip of the slide happens every day.
Wait until ticket prices reflect the cost of jet fuel.
My sister, a Trump hater who considers herself to be an expert on All Things Medical, is completely frustrated by the hassle she has to endure for air travel. I like bringing up this fact every chance I can and pointing out who is responsible. Of course, she’s had every shot.
“All of those pilots they fired, you can bet there were some pretty smart cookies in that bunch. And yet, they chose to walk away from a lifetime achievement and career rather than get these shots.
Do you ever wonder, what did they know that you don’t know?”
The usual suspect, the federal government, is at the root of the problem. FAA air traffic controllers woefully understaffed. Just take a gander at their help wanted ads! Quality will be jettisoned to get warm bodies ...accidents will multiply. Happy flying!
Who is John Galt?
Makes me wonder if some of these airline corporations have woke executive management? Perhaps they are not getting enough of the appropriate checkboxes checked?
Female check
Black check
LGQBT+ check
or to put it another way, white male pilots are not being considered?
Flies in the face of being a profitable company, but these are extraordinary times.
What’s going on in every aspect of our countries collapse?
Brandon.
