They had to fly right seat in the airlines for years to build the hours for left seat.

Yeah, I fly a lot, not in the cockpit obviously. Have done general aviation flights though and assisted the pilot (right seat) and hand flown. Former drummer with double kick, so rudder peddles are a breeze. I didn't do ATC work or anything, but have a general understanding if shit hits the fan and could land a plane and hopefully not smash the gear.

I love flight, just have too much other shit going on. I have an FAA license for drones and did probably 40% of the ground school stuff for that which is retarded for a toy basically. Aviation is fun. I'd like to get my PP license by 45. Worried about the medical with hereditary high BP. No I'm not fat. We'll see. I've got planes I can use for training. All in time.

I got boosted recently, and a flu shot. I'm up to shot #4 of Moderna.
The paperwork they gave me from Moderna about "SpikeVax" (catchy name for it) specifically mentioned myocarditis and pericarditis and young people.
Evidently they're required to warn you of all possible effects.
I felt slightly tired the next afternoon.

Isn't it still EUA? My mom is 70 in March. She's had covid twice now. She hid for months when this started. I traveled and was out more than ever because no one else was and never got covid. Wife and kids never gotten it. All tested roughly 4-7 times for all 5 of our family.

As I typed this just got a notification that Ebola is back..... supposedly. Unvaccinated variety I guess or new strain (just read headline) Didn't read it. Don't want to. Feels like midterm bull shit.

This shit is getting predictable at this point.

Yes, for general aviation planes like single engine Cessnas and Pipers, rudders are needed to counter torque on takeoff and for coordinated turns. If you really like using a rudder, try slipping a landing instead using flaps. When I was a kid in Civil Air Patrol, I was taken up a couple of times in an old Bellanca, which had no flaps so slipping was routine. My wife's grandpa had a Piper Cub he flew (Montana long ago, not sure he ever got a license), also without flaps.

A friend pointed out this interview to me.

The podcast is also available on iTunes/Apple podcasts under “Dark Horse”. The episode does not have a number but it’s in between #145 and #146. It’s also available on Spotify. I have not checked but most podcasts are available on the free Spotify with ads.

The interview with the military resistors is mind-boggling. Pilot was told that he can’t fly a fighter plane because if he’s not toxcinnated he would have to wear a mask. In spite of being the only person in the plane.

Airlines are looking to solve the pilot labor shortage by asking the government to allow planes to fly with just one pilot and how about NO

If the pilot shortage was real the starting pay would be decent. Since it isn't the shortage is booooooooooogus (as they used to say on Car Talk).

RWSGFY says

If the pilot shortage was real the starting pay would be decent.

The shortage is with high hour experienced pilots. Low time pilots are common and thus the low starting pay. In fact, a low time pilot is happy to be able to get paid at all while building hours.

Yup. If you're non-military, you'll spend 1,000 hours/fuel/time on your dime before you make minimum wage roughly. From there you start logging in hours on a private or small airline operation. It's all about obtaining hours in the air. Guess what, you have an adverse reaction to a vaccine your career is toast. All those hours wasted. There is and will be a pilot shortage for the foreseeable future.

December 4, 2022

Envoy Air flight 3556, an Embracer E175 operated on behalf of American Eagle, experienced an inflight emergency seconds after departing Chicago-O’Hare International Airport for Columbus, Ohio. The pilot-in-command, Patrick Ford, was speaking coherently and clearly to ATC when his voice abruptly ceased. A few minutes later, co-pilot Brandon Hendrickson informed ATC he had control of the aircraft and that Ford had fallen unconscious at the controls, and announced his intent to return to the airport immediately. The flight landed safely, but Ford was dead; Hendrickson and an off-duty American Airlines pilot pulled Ford from his harness as paramedics boarded the flight and desperately fought to save his life. It was later determined Ford suffered a fatal heart attack.

The above paragraph summarizes the official version of the incident.

However, a Real Raw News investigation on Ford’s untimely demise, aided by an FAA whistleblower, unsurprisingly revealed that Ford, who was 54 years old and in good health prior to his sudden death, had taken a Covid-19 booster shot two days before his final flight, a fact not mentioned on his death certificate or in his obituary.

Publicly available audio of the emergency is limited to communications between flight 3356 and ATC; absent is any discussion the pilot and the co-pilot might have had when Ford realized he was in trouble. During takeoff and landing, flight crews typically maintain a sterile cockpit, meaning banter is forbidden so pilots can focus exclusively on their workload. Most aircraft accidents happen during takeoff and landing.

In the case of flight 3556, though, Ford had told Hendrickson he was feeling “lightheaded and dizzy” shortly after Hendrickson raised the landing gear, according to an FAA insider who claims that Envoy/American Eagle and the FAA reviewed the cockpit voice recorder, which preserves the recent history of the sounds in the cockpit, including the conversation of the pilots.

“The sequence of events went quickly. Captain Ford informed Captain Hendrickson he felt distressed, dizzy, then seemed to change his mind, saying something to the effect of ‘Never mind, I’m ok.’ Hendrickson then asks if he’s sick, noting he looks a bit pale. Captain Ford says he got a Covid-19 vaccination a few days ago and is probably having a mild reaction. Ford is then heard talking to ATC and slumps forward in his chair and dies,” our source explained.

The federal government, he added, has applied enormous pressure on the aviation industry, including the FAA and NTSB, to avoid putting the word “vaccine” on incident reports.

“If a report with the word Covid-19 or vaccine crosses our desks, the report is amended to omit those words,” he said. “It’s obvious the government doesn’t want its vaccine maligned.”

The FAA and NTSB have buried hundreds of reports in which the clot shot may have been a contributing cause in incidents, he said. The number of pilot fatalities and illnesses have increased exponentially since the inception of vaccine mandates.

As stated in our last article on this topic, Real Raw News cannot prove causality. Nonetheless, one would have to be myopic to miss the correlation. And if vaccines were truly clinically safe and effective, why would the government engage in subterfuge?

By now everyone who is paying attention has realized that something is amiss with the Covid 19 gene therapy shots. You’ve probably seen reports of severe adverse reactions up to and including death, reports of people of all ages dying suddenly in their sleep, and athletes of both sexes at the peak of physical condition collapsing in practice or in competition. These conditions, we are learning, are not caused by the virus; rather, they are caused directly by the contents of the vials or because of a significantly weakened immune system from taking shot after shot.

There’s another cohort, however, that we need to think about in case you are not aware. This group is in the aviation industry, and this article will focus on the cockpit crew in that aircraft that gets you safely where you want to go. Know that flight attendants, air traffic controllers, and support personnel are also affected; however, a problem with your pilots can lead to a disaster, killing you and maybe hundreds of other innocent passengers and even people on the ground. This article highlights those pilots.

We face a two-pronged dilemma, both of which must be addressed. First, the governments of the countries forcing flight crews to be “vaccinated” must immediately withdraw those mandates. Next, the pilots who took the shot and are adversely affected must be helped to reverse those ill effects.

https://www.paddleyourownkanoo.com/2023/03/07/virgin-australia-pilot-suffers-heart-attack-30-minutes-after-takeoff-prompting-emergency-landing/

A Virgin Australia flight from Adelaide to Perth was forced to make an emergency landing after the First Officer was taken ill just 30 minutes after departure.

The incident occurred on 3rd March and resulted in the Airbus A320 being forced to return to Adelaide, where emergency responders were waiting to transport the sick pilot to the hospital.

Very few details about the incident have so far been made public by Australia’s aviation accident investigation bureau, but the airline has denied an initial account reported by the AVHerald that the First Officer became incapacitated after suffering a heart attack.

The First Officer was taken to the hospital for observation but was later reported to be okay. A spokesperson for the airline said passengers were accommodated on the next available flights.

Australian aviation regulators require pilots to undergo a yearly medical examination, although an ECG is only necessary for the initial medical examination and then at ages 25, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38 and 40.

After the age of 40, an ECG is required annually. The medical process also includes a calculation of cardiovascular risk.

Last November, the Captain of an American Eagle flight died from a suspected heart attack shortly after takeoff from Chicago O’Hare, while the Captain of a Biman Bangladesh Airlines flight became incapacitated and later died last August during a flight from Muscat to Dhaka.

Pilot Dies Suddenly Shortly before Flying Packed Passenger Jet
Frank Bergman March 13, 2023

A British Airways pilot has collapsed and died suddenly after suffering a heart attack shortly before he was due to fly a packed passenger jet.

The pilot, who hasn’t been identified by the airline, died at a hotel in Egypt after collapsing unexpectedly.

He was on his way to Cairo Airport to fly a British Airways (BA) plane back to Heathrow in the UK.

There were roughly 200 passengers aboard the flight that the deceased pilot was due to fly.

The pilot was with the rest of his fellow crew members when he collapsed as they prepared to travel to the airport, according to reports.

https://www.theepochtimes.com/young-pilot-fights-post-jab-heart-issues-speaks-out-on-covid-shot-fears_5115037.html?utm_source=share-btn-copylink

Sierra Lund, a recreational pilot, shudders to think what could have happened if she had been in the cockpit when she started experiencing heart attack-like symptoms.

Just 18 hours after being injected with a COVID-19 shot, Lund felt intense pain in her chest. She was having trouble breathing. “Walking was a struggle,” she said.

None of this made sense.

Lund was a well-conditioned, competitive athlete. Neither she nor her relatives had any history of heart issues. And she was just 23. So Lund tried to shrug off her symptoms. They didn’t abate, so she sought emergency medical care.

Now, a year and a half later, her symptoms persist.

Lund was diagnosed with two heart conditions: myocarditis (cardiac muscle inflammation) and pericarditis (inflammation of the sac encasing the heart). Studies have linked both conditions to COVID vaccinations, and Lund says she’s sure the jab is to blame for her new health issues.

As a result, Lund can no longer fly a plane solo. Flying has been her passion since she first got her pilot’s license at age 17.

Lund and Josh Yoder, co-founder of aviation advocacy group “US Freedom Flyers,” say many other pilots—including commercial captains—have also suffered health issues that they strongly suspect could have been caused by taking a COVID jab. Yoder’s group has encouraged pilots to get screened specifically for myocarditis, which can remain undetected during routine medical exams.

“A lot of people are afraid to talk about it, afraid to lose their job,” Lund told The Epoch Times. “And since I’m not in that situation, I have a responsibility to speak out.”

Lund is sharing her story, she said, in the hopes of increasing public awareness about the health issue. She is also urging the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and other government officials to look into vaccine-related health risks that could affect pilots more seriously.

Failure to do so is “extremely dangerous for the pilots and for the general public,” Lund said.
‘Zero Doubt’ Vaccine Caused Problems

A large percentage of commercial pilots received the COVID shots after being threatened with losing their jobs if they failed to comply with federal mandates.

Yoder, a commercial pilot, said he has heard from dozens of vaccinated pilots who worry that the shots hurt their health, may be threatening their livelihoods and affecting their ability to fly safely.

“Unfortunately, many of them have been suffering with these issues for quite some time … they were hoping the symptoms would go away,” Yoder told The Epoch Times of conversations he’s had with those in the industry.

He said word had spread that his organization was connecting pilots with medical professionals who could help diagnose and treat their health conditions; US Freedom Flyers connected Lund with doctors who are trying alternative therapies after conventional treatment methods yielded little improvement in her heart conditions.

While proving a link between vaccines and medical conditions can prove elusive, Lund says cases such as hers, which document near-immediate effects after vaccination, are hard to dispute reasonably.

After consulting with four cardiologists and learning about many reports similar to hers, Lund says she has “zero doubt” that the COVID shot caused her heart problems.

After receiving a COVID vaccine in September 2021, Lund felt terrible chest pain and shortness of breath as she headed for a flight as a passenger on a commercial aircraft. She called her father, who had just dropped her off. He headed back to pick her up and took her to an urgent care clinic, where an X-ray showed inflammation in her chest.

Her chest has hurt ever since.

Lund took the shot voluntarily, mostly because she wanted to take a trip to a foreign destination where the shot was required. She also felt societal pressure to get the vaccine.

She now regrets the decision, which has changed her life dramatically.

As a daughter of a commercial airline pilot who also flies recreationally, aviation has been a constant in her life. Since her diagnosis, Lund still pilots small planes to keep her skills sharp. But she must always have a second pilot accompanying her; she is no longer medically cleared to fly alone.

Lund’s past schedule of daily gym workouts are also in her rear-view mirror—at least for now.

She tries not to think about all that she is missing.

“If I did, I’d probably be depressed,” Lund said. “I’m trying to figure out how to get better and figuring out how to come up with some sort of normal life in the meantime.”

She now runs her own business as an aircraft broker, keeping her in touch with the aviation community that she loves so much.

In between, Lund heads to medical appointments, including some that require travel from her home state, Georgia. She has spent about $15,000 out-of-pocket trying to get well so far.

FAA Decision Puzzling

U.S. government agencies insist that cases such as Lund’s are rare and that the COVID shots are safe and effective for the general public. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has stood by its decision to OK them for pilots’ use.

Lund and others, however, fault the FAA for approving the vaccines for pilots.

“Allowing pilots to put any substance in their body that has not had the appropriate clinical trials and abundant data to back its safety goes directly against what the FAA has always stood for,” Lund wrote in a Jan. 25 email to Federal Air Surgeon Susan Northrup.

The FAA forbids pilots from using numerous substances, including over-the-counter medications, within a certain number of hours before flying.

That’s why the FAA’s willingness to approve the emergency use COVID-19 vaccines for pilots is mystifying, Lund said.

“Instead of advocating for pilots, you allowed mandates to roll out,” Lund told Northrup.

Now, many pilots are vaccinated with the same shot that Lund blames for her predicament.

As of March 13, Lund said she had yet to receive a reply from Northrup.

When the Epoch Times sought comment from Northrup, an FAA spokesman responded on her behalf: “The FAA has seen no credible evidence of aircraft accidents or incapacitations caused by pilots suffering medical complications associated with COVID-19 vaccines.”

U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) has been investigating COVID vaccine concerns in aviation.

In a Feb. 10 letter to Johnson, Northrup said that the FAA knew of only four “potentially vaccine-related adverse events in active pilots.”

She also said that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) “is the responsible agency for tracking and follow up of suspected vaccine adverse events”—not the FAA.

Johnson accused the agency of ignoring problems that the COVID shots might be causing among pilots that pose serious risks specific to the airline industry.
Pilots Not ‘Your Average Person’

“I think one thing that the public needs to know is, if they hear of a pilot having a condition, or a heart attack in the cockpit, they aren’t just your average person … I mean, these people go in for extensive medical screenings to keep their jobs,” Lund said. “So these should be the healthiest people out there.”

Yet, at least anecdotally, people seem to be hearing more reports of pilots suffering from heart ailments similar to Lund’s, or worse, Yoder said. This suggests that effects from the COVID shots or the illness itself could be the culprit.

“This is not something that we’ve seen happening on this scale before,” Yoder said. “You never heard about it; it was very rare … Now it’s something we hear about now almost every week.”

Through aviation networks, Yoder has heard numerous reports of flight attendants collapsing at work. Periodically, he has also seen reports of pilots being incapacitated or dying suddenly. Few of the reports in the mainstream press raise the possibility that the COVID vaccine may have been a factor.

Lund said people tend to shy away from talking about anything related to COVID vaccines because it can cause controversy. But she said more open discussion and investigation are needed to protect people’s safety.

Yoder concurs. He worries about undetected cases of cardiac inflammation. With the disclaimer, “I can’t speak as a doctor,” he said that cardiologists were telling him, “The longer you go with severe chronic inflammation, it’s not something that gets better over time. It gets worse.”

“So, left untreated, we’re gonna continue to see these deaths and incapacitations increase, most likely,” Yoder said.
Her Condition ‘Rare,’ Officials Say ...

Prior to the availability of the COVID vaccines in the United States, those conditions barely registered on VAERS. But the number of myocarditis and pericarditis reports in VAERS soared to almost 16,000 in 2021—the first full year that the COVID shots were in use.

Lund said her case was submitted to VAERS; it is listed among 3,819 reports of myocarditis and pericarditis for COVID-inoculated people in her age group 12-25. But COVID vaccine recipients in the age group above hers, ages 25-51, recorded the highest number of those heart conditions in VAERS: 5,456.

As of March 3, more than 1.5 million “adverse events” have been reported to VAERS. That’s a fraction of the 270 million people in the United States who have had at least one COVID vaccine, the CDC argues.

But as OpenVAERS, a group that questions vaccine safety, points out: “VAERS is widely acknowledged, even by the CDC, to be vastly underreported.” If that is true, the number of adverse effects of the COVID vaccines could be many times higher than the VAERS data show.
‘Real Solution’ Needed

Lund said she hopes that people on both sides of the political spectrum—and on both sides of the COVID vaccine mandate debate—can look for answers more open-mindedly.

She has heard the vitriol surrounding the issue and finds it unproductive.

“If you are extremely pro-vaccine, don’t blow people off when they say they have had an adverse side effect to the vaccine,” she said. “You need to be more understanding and listen to other people’s experience and listen to the studies that are coming out and maybe try to do some critical thinking as far as what you put into your body.”

It’s wrong for people to label vaccine skeptics “grandma killers” and “conspiracy theorists,” Lund said.

On the other hand, people who are anti-vaccine “need to be more understanding of the pressure that people are under and how scared they were of the pandemic,” and about their willingness to trust the government-appointed experts, Lund said.

“People on both sides of the aisle really need to come together, especially on this front, and just look at it logically based on the facts that we have now,” Lund said.

“It’s a real big issue … But as far as the FAA, I think that they need to start investigating these cases of pilots and people in the aviation world that are getting adverse side effects and come up with a real solution.”

Here's the real solution:

A 39 year old Alberta pilot for WestJet Airlines died suddenly on March 17, 2023

https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/another-pilot-emergency

A Southwest flight from Las Vegas to Columbus, Ohio, had to turn back yesterday after one of its pilots became “incapacitated.” Details of both the incident and the pilot’s current condition are scarce.

But whatever happened was serious enough that the pilot had to be removed from the cockpit. An off-duty non-Southwest pilot replaced him and helped land the plane.

A reader sent in this interesting email about the incident, worth sharing in its entirety:

My observation: The major airlines have been aggressive in requiring
vaccinations for their employees.

In the process they have created a relevant sub-population for analysis.
Frequent health screening for pilots and mandatory vaccination removes
analytically troublesome variables from study of vaccination impact.

What is the incidence rate of health problems among active professional
pilots since vaccination began compared to before or to another suitable
baseline?

Could someone influential in this subject area be successful in
advocating that Congress take up this question? After all, FAA, public
safety, etc all within their area of responsibility.

An excellent idea.
