As every flight has two pilots, they would both have to go down at, or close to the same time. Not saying we won't see a commercial flight crash this year, just saying the odds you're on it are very low.

The fuck...

How come Intel agencies aren't listed as a major air hazard, since the Woo says that upwards of 50 percent of air accidents are assassinations of some particular person or persons on a flight?

Never will happen on anything larger than a Boeing 737 or similar. Maybe small regional jets. Which you're getting low hour pilots anyway so two pilots may not make a difference outside of health and is probably more dangerous. Though you'll die in a car crash before a plane crash.

If you're confident and can listen, any passenger can land a plane. Odds are there's someone with some experience at a basic level as well. I wouldn't want to be on a single pilot flight though in general. General aviation (small planes) I won't sit in the back. I'm right seat, unless there's another pilot on board. I'm not a pilot but have confidence I could manage in an emergency if the pilot passes out or something. I might break some landing gear, but I wouldn't smash it and blow up.

Although my home airport Midway has pretty short runways and only houses around. So you're fucked with a bird in the engine on take off. So pilot health doesn't much matter. Denver is the best airport for smooth landings with massive runways since they need more length on takeoff, though the inside of that place can fuck itself.

Absolute nonsense. It takes practice to manage the flare on a large aircraft and a stall 100 feet up will result in a fatal crash. Also, it takes very light touch on the controls of a jet as compared to a Cessa Skyhawk. A small pressure on the yoke and it will nose up or down quite rapidly. And that is if it is trimmed correctly. Now consider crosswinds and low visibility. And how did you find the airport in the first place? Or are you hoping the pilot passed out and handed the plane to you right at the final approach fix with the gear down?

Another point of research for @Ceffer. Leftoids of all people have told me that Denver Airport is based on occult designs.

The real issue is, why did they feel the need to move the goal posts??

"Now it appears that the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA), the body responsible for licensing pilots, has quietly changed the criteria for measuring heart damage in pilots. Until October 2022, pilots were required to pass stringent health tests and have EKG readings of between 0.12 and 0.2. However, from October 26th, the FAA increased that measurement to 0.3. That’s over a 100 percent increase from the low marker."

Just a wild, insane guess. I think it just might have something to do with the clot-shots.

Because grounding a significant number of pilots for heart issues would draw attention to the vax. And it seems that pilots grounded for heart issues would have a strong case against the airline that forced those pilots to get the jab.

Very interesting point that certainly appears to have merit.

Again, I'm hearing more and more fully vaxxed people expressing their regrets. Unfortunately, for most of these people, it's already too late.

They copied ATL. Which sucks as well. I want to get off the plane and walk out of the building. You can't do that at either airport. You have to take a train within an airport. Then a bus/train to get to your rental car. We'll soon need to arrive 4 hours before just for the commute within the airport.

I park my car at MDW and 5 min bus ride I'm in the building and 10 minutes away from my gate. 100% of the time. Security included. MDW upped their game with the renovation of security. I can park the car 25min before boarding and still be on time. ORD isn't great, but it blows away DEN and ATL. Just assume you're going to take at least an hour to get in or out of the place, TSA excluded in that time.

Like I said, a non-pilot passenger can do it. There will likely be damage, maybe not depending on the person and instruction from ATC. Either way commercial airliners fly themselves for 90% plus of the flight outside of ATC telling them to turn to this heading or speed and they turn a knob. I know you know flying, but it's a button pushing/turning game.

As with any skill we over complicate it to make other markets to take money from you. Flying a plane is trivial. Remember the kid that stole the plane and flew to the Bahamas? No flight experience.

As I said, you have to be confident and listen. Most people cannot and they panic, so I think we're kind of in agreement. I know I could. Fuel and weight is your biggest issue as you're not privy to that and could smash a landing and kill everyone if it's after take off. Finding the airport is trivial if you speak the English language and have someone on the ATC side assisting you with knowledge of aircraft.

I've only flown a few planes at this point. I do have an FAA license though for a toy and generally know airspace and all the other ground shit all pilots know. I've done more mentally and physically than it takes to fly a plane. There's a reason it's the safest mode of transportation.

There's plenty out there for anyone interested. Tunnels, art, can easily spend a day going down that rabbit hole.

American Airlines pilot Bob Snow suffered heart attack 6 minutes after he landed plane with 200 passengers on board; he is speaking out i)FAA no one contacted him ii) likely due to the vaccine

But FAA and American Airlines are silent, as if this did not happen while (see my substack below) the FAA silently changed it's threshold of cardiac electrical conduction for pilots 200 ms to 300 ms

🚨URGENT — Pilot Bob Snow Has Heart Attack Six Minutes After Landing His Plane Carrying 200 Passengers, Blames COVID Vaccine

“I’ve been contacted by pilots who had issues post-vaccine. My former co-workers unfortunately passed away as a consequence of receiving the vaccine.”

https://palexander.substack.com/p/2-more-american-airline-pilots-have

2 more American Airline pilots have died in the last 2 weeks, a subscriber to my substack shared so I am sharing; they advised it is just from one funeral home near Chicago. How many more are there?
Is it the COVID gene injection? I am arguing yes, and until it is ruled out, it is on the table. This mRNA, LNP platform has been devastating and all involved, mRNA to vaccine must be investigated

In the you-can’t-make-it-up category, the New York Post ran a remarkable story yesterday headlined, “FAA’s diversity push includes focus on hiring people with ‘severe intellectual’ and ‘psychiatric’ disabilities.” It wasn’t exactly news, per se, but it added some pretty important context to the Boeing doorplug incident, where last week part of the side of the plane “departed the aircraft” going 600 mph at 16,000 feet, fortunately not killing anybody but stripping off one passenger’s shirt, sucking out a bunch of cell phones, and creating what sounds a lot more like a painful ordeal than a relaxing flight.

Anyway, diligent New York Post reporters did some digging and found that for most of the last year, the FAA has been focused on recruiting everyone except qualified candidates including — and I am not making this up — people with issues, euphemistically referred to as “severe intellectual and psychiatric disabilities.”

Um.

The FAA’s “Diversity and Inclusion” hiring plan claimed that “diversity is integral to achieving FAA’s mission of ensuring safe and efficient travel across our nation and beyond.” I think we can all agree that safety and efficiency are, in fact, what the FAA should be aiming for. But what’s not entirely clear is how it helps improve safety and efficiency to put people with “severe intellectual and psychiatric disabilities” in charge of the nation’s critical air industry.

When it comes to air travel, safety first, right? I mean, they even make us take our shoes off, for crying out loud. And don’t get me started on the ‘enhanced’ patdowns. It’s too soon. I’m not ready to talk about it yet.

Don’t get me wrong. It’s good to help disabled people get jobs. I’m all for laws banning discriminating against disabled people who can do the same job as a fully abled person, or however you say it. A person in a wheelchair should be able to get a job as a bookkeeper, with no problems. I’d even allow that the employer might be required to buy that employee a wider desk to accommodate the wheelchair, depending on how much it costs, of course.

But it’s not clear to me at all that employers should be discriminating against non-disabled people by preferring disabled people. That doesn’t seem fair. Beyond that, the FAA seems to have lost the plot a little. The idea is: it’s good to give a disabled person an equal shot if they can do the same job just as well.

Don’t cancel me. But I have serious doubts whether issue-plagued people with “severe intellectual and psychiatric disabilities” can do important airline safety jobs just as well as smart, sane people can. Never mind whether they’re severe, I’m not even sure if people with regular intellectual and psychiatric disabilities are a good fit for a high-stress, high-stakes job like controlling airplanes or anything adjacent to that.

I tried to get an idea what “severe intellectual and psychiatric disabilities” at the FAA would actually look like. Good luck if you want to try. Don’t bother asking AI, it gets completely terrified at the prospect of defining either term and, turtle-like, immediately retreats into pro-sensitivity gobbledygook. But here’s my best guess how it might look:

FAA FLIGHT CONTROLLER: Go ahead XBB1015.

PILOT: Thank you, flight. Request clearance for landing.

FLIGHT CONTROLLER: 10-4 XBB, please use my pronouns xe/xir. I am having a difficult enough day already. I don’t need more problems from pilots. Over.

PILOT: Sorry, flight, I didn’t get that? Repeat?

FLIGHT CONTROLLER: Look, I am two seconds from blowing my brains out, okay? How about instead of pretending you didn’t hear me, just cooperate and I’ll give you a runway instead of flying you into a mountain? How about that?

Or something like that. Wait! I just had a notion. Is this story another controlled demolition thing? Are they going after the FAA this time?
