We are well into “consilience” territory with respect to the vexxationation. It has taken a grievous toll in terms of those maimed or killed. You really ought to ask MI6 for a new assignment.

So does anyone know the condition of the captain?

“That particular phrase is referring to the number of near miss collisions on takeoff/landing or on the tarmac.”

Still a bit broad of a term from my experience as a pilot. Clearly our experiences vary a little.

See, in most western civilization for people who understand the enlightenment sand renaissance, the person who advances a hypothesis is responsible for also presenting the evidence to support it. Wouldn’t it be nice if we come stay true to the pillars of philosophy and reasoned thought? Just asking. For a friend.

I'm not seeking enlightenment from an internet doctor. Thanks for asking though. If your personal persona is anything like your internet persona, I would be hard pressed to believe you have any friends. At least that's what my friend just said.

Yes, it will be just a matter of time before both pilots suffer a cardiac event due to the vacqxx.

Did they dredge their pilots out of Old Folks homes due to the pilot shortage?

This....from a REAL pilot, who doesn't pose as a fake doc....

The NTSB saftey board chair woman emphasizes significant issues with aviation saftey. Yet armed with that information, the FAA is turning a blind eye to the detriment of the flying public. @USFreedomFlyers @FAANews @FAASafetyBrief

And, there is this....for the fake DocPilots to defend....

...The news comes after a series of near-misses and airport incidents over the past few months. In early February, two other United planes — a Boeing 787 and a Boeing 757 — collided at Newark, with the latter nearly losing its entire winglet.

About a week later, an American Airlines aircraft crashed into a shuttle bus at Los Angeles International Airport, sending four to the hospital.

Some even closer calls have occurred since the beginning of the year, including a Delta Air Lines Boeing 737 nearly colliding with an American Boeing 777 on the runway at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport in January. Then, in February, a FedEx Boeing 767 cargo plane nearly landed on top of a Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 passenger jet in Austin.

And, most recently, a JetBlue Airways plane had to take “evasive action” to avoid crashing into a private jet in Boston.....

Anecdotal.

A word I rarely used until the last couple of years.

Rare too. Unless steak. I like rare steak.

Died suddenly? Never used the phrase until the last couple of years. Now, I and my wife have multitudes of friends and classmates who have died suddenly.

Nothing to see here.
