Is the world’s air travel industry deliberately being driven to collapse?
American Thinker ^ | 5 Jul, 2022 | Andrea Widburg

Posted on 07/05/2022 4:49:13 AM PDT by MtnClimber

One writer describes how air travel industry insiders warned him this was happening.

n America, Pete Buttigieg is proving to be the most incompetent Secretary of Transportation in American history. Confronted with thousands of canceled flights, he offers tips about how to value cash refunds compared to refunds in the form of miles. That’s bad. What’s worse is that a writer for a trend site claims to have talked with European insiders and learned that the problem with flights is not limited to America; it’s worldwide and deliberate.

SNIP

And that’s where we get to an article by Alex Krainer, which was originally published at I-System Trend Following before appearing at ZeroHedge. According to Krainer, he had a three-hour call with Christine Anderson, a German member of the European Union Parliament, along with several other participants, three of whom are intimately familiar with the airline industry:

Three of the participants on the call had deep inside knowledge of the airline industry (one of them a pilot) who said in no uncertain terms that the industry is now being systematically and deliberately demolished. Apparently, the ultimate purpose is to kill airline travel altogether.

:: No air travel, cruises, etc., allowed — except for themselves, of course. ::

1. Reduce volume to match capacity.

2. Raise ticket prices to profitable levels.

3. Resist the temptation to confuse profitability with market share. After all, the primary purpose of a for-profit corporation is to make a profit. How you get there is details.

Actually, #3 should probably be #1.

The temperature of the pot of water the frog is swimming in is swiftly reaching the point where the frog shall be no longer able to jump out of the water. It has been gradual until now. This is the crucial point, the make-or-break moment for the New World Order.

None of the promises of the Green New Deal will ever be kept.

Decivilization and annihilation are near. Nazi Germany and the Stalinist Soviet Union were only test runs. China’s CCP is the model currently most nearly approaching the anticipated final design. Consider the plight of the Uyghur people of northwestern China, and the beleaguered natives of Tibet. It can happen here. And done by people who were by all outward aspects, Americans by birth and descent.

The swarm has already invaded, and replacement is the next step.

The airlines became incompetent woke nazis and many of the passengers became rude pigs.

When you have airline employees treat customers like shit you will get backlash. And to add into the mix you have the TSA acting like military police. Not a good combination.

This administration main goal is to stop CO2 emissions.
As they forcing us in electric cars, they have to address the airplane emissions.
So far, the jets are just burning kerosene and blowing them into the atmosphere.
That has to stop!
No more public airplanes!
Only private jets for the anointed ones should be allowed!

Well, given that the only transportation he knows anything about is pickle smuggling, this shouldn’t come as much of a surprise.

To “Build Back” you must destroy first.

The “destroy” part is what this administration is working on. And they are succeeding.

Yes. Any travel for recreational purposes will be erased.

Personally, I think its much more likely that they are being pushed to a model similar to France.
Nationalized run by unions.
God help us!

Our government isn’t inept, it’s evil. Shutting down the Keystone Pipeline on day #1 wasn’t an act of ineptness, it was an act of intention. They know what they are doing. (Admittedly, Biden might not, but the Easter Bunny, for one, does.)

Mrs. Flying Eagle is of the view that the intent is to collapse the entire economy. She is not known for hyperbole. Things are getting pretty bad. Grocery store. Gas station. Simple things are outrageously difficult now. Supply chains are wrecked.

Obama wants America on its knees, per Dreams of his Father, and Biden complies seeing his chance to be viewed in perpetuity as the Ds next great saviour, FDR.

Together... deadly.

Cloward Piven. Collapse the system.

The dims saw that they had a very real chance to pull this off with biden in the White House. With him there, every govt nutjob can put their plans in action regardless of what it will do to us and biden will go along with it.

He is just a human rubber stamp.

Strongly disagree.

Biden is not a “human rubber stamp” because it assumes he is conscious at all.

Biden is a Chinese meat puppet.

This will stop when TSA is driven out of every airport, when DHS is disbanded and when Joe Biden, Kamala Harris (or any other Democrat) are tossed out on their ears.

Yep, the worst. So I guess he'll have a leg up for the Presidential nomination.

Indeed. But at the same time, the air travel industry brought a lot of it upon themselves by mandating vaccines....which cost them a crap ton of airline pilots who, for over 50% of them, have not or not returning.

The air travel industry "brought it on themselves"?

Nevermind any coercion from The Liberal World Order?
