1ºRe Stalucci you keep telling yourself that.
And remember, your future autoimmune disease isn’t a mystery. That’s what they’re going to tell you. They’re going to tell you that they don’t know why your body is fighting itself. Doesn’t matter in the sense that even if they told you the truth you still don’t have any recourse against the manufacturers but you should understand just for your own knowledge. Good luck with it. While you silently pray that the unvaccinated get hurt from Covid, us unvaxxed people are praying for your health. I take all the mocking and name calling as a badge of honor and use it to send you all good health. The “conspiracy theorists” were right about everything. And we won’t know the full impact of these poisonous gene therapies for decades.

Poor Harrison.
Tell us you're a conspiracy nut and a ra...oh, nevermind. We can all see it.
There are roughly 100,000 flights happening all over the world every day.
Do you actually believe that the occasional illness or accident is out of the norm for that many flights every day? Things happen.
Curious, what did you people blame when people got sick or died, or when there was a plane accident BEFORE the pandemic?
Lemme guess...chemtrails? Jimmy Hoffa? Power lines?
Oof.
How you people manage to figure out how to put your pants on correctly every morning is astounding.
3ºJack Elliott Absolutely not! All airliners require 2 equally-trained pilots for the operation of the aircraft. The first officer is not a backup to the captain; he’s a requirement to operate the airplane. Captains and First Officers have the exact same training for the airplane they’re flying.
In an emergency like this, yes, one pilot could bring the plane back around for a landing alone, but the workload would be incredibly high. So, if you have an extra pilot available, it’s 100% the safest option to use them to help reduce the workload and run checklists and work the radio while the other one is flying the airplane.
4ºHarrison Bergeron unqualified diversity hires?
You clearly have no idea what processes happen between the date of hire and a pilot taking actual passengers in the sky. There are hours and hours of classroom teaching and simulator sessions and multiple tests and checkpoints from the FAA. And you don’t get a pass because of your demographic. You either know how to fly the plane or you’re cut loose. Yes, candidates who show promise might be given more training and another shot, but ultimately if you can’t hack it, you don’t get into the cockpit.
Theoretically HR could force all the diversity hires it wanted on the airline, but if they prove unqualified or can’t fly the plane, they’re out before they ever see a live passenger.
5ºJan Murray --. I'm an old woman whose first flight was on a prop plane -- San Antonio to Las Vegas -- and I loved it. I enjoy flying (and I've NEVER had an issue) , but what I no longer enjoy is the hassle inside the terminal. I understand the necessity for security, and how the volume of travelers has altered the process, but oh how I long the days when we simply walked in, checked our bags, and walked to the gate with our family who might be seeing us off, or greeting us at the gate. Yes, flying was a pleasure back in the day. I suspect you are too young to have experienced that,,, and good for you. We even dressed up to fly -- no scrubs and house slippers. . So for that reason we often opt for driving, and we're old and not in a hurry.
Besides, we actually like road trips.
