I heard that the FAA changed their policy on pilot EKG’s and increased the limit on the number of EKG-shown problems to be able to still qualify. Whether this change was vaxx related, I do not know.
You are correct and yes it is vaxx related. Too many pilots would be grounded under the old regime. They moved the requirements by an order of magnitude, not some minor tweak.
The government is out to kill every last one of us.
Major airlines were encouraging pilots to take early retirement during the pandemic slowdown. A cost reduction move. And some younger pilots who didn’t want the vaccine found jobs outside of the majors. When business picked up again this exposed a shortage of trained pilots, some of that due to the airlines’ own lack of planning. Now there’s a move to raise the mandatory retirement age.
