Cutting corners has become the American way.
airlines still requiring the vax?
They are learning that once you stab employees in the back, its unlikely they will ever trust you again.
I wonder how many were lost due to the vaxx mandates? Just one more in a long line of policy decisions from Biden that are screwing up everything in this country.
I used to only fly Delta. Now I refuse to fly at all.
There are a LOT of muzzies(SPIT!) who’d be willing to fly those planes.
Bound to work out well.
My brother has been an airline captain for decades. This last year he has been grounded multiple times by FAA medical examiners because his heart has become swollen and inflamed and his aorta began bulging. Each time the airline has sent him to out of state FAA medical examiners who have approved him to go back to work. And yes, the mandated “vaccines” and boosters seem to be the source of the difficulty.
His hobbies include horses and cows but he is selling off all the cows because he was told not to throw hay bales around or exert himself in any way. Ironically, he tested positive for Covid recently, but was told to go back to work after 7 days regardless of whether his cold like symptoms had gotten better.
At this point in time airliners basically can take-off, fly enroute, and land with little input from the pilots. So whether having one or both of the pilots possibly on death’s door may or may not be a threat to public safety. But the FAA and Airlines are twisting the medical requirements into pretzels.
Just raise fares until you’re filling the flights that can be properly crewed. The low fare flyers will eventually cull themselves from the market. Full planes at higher fares, well qualified crews. I’m fine with that.
Jet fuel will triple the cost of flying which will cure this problem.
You demanded they get the vax.
They have heart attacks as a result of taking the vax.
You now have a shortage of pilots.
Question: do you STILL insist the new pilots take the vax?
And when companies have corporate boards, CEO/COO/CFO and other senior “leadership”:
1. Bowing down to the leftists and feminists in HR.
2. Bowing down and succumbing to the ESG idiots.
3. Bowing down to the Wall St/Hedge Fund business plans of treating everyone like sh*t, telling them that “if they don’t like it, there are 1000s lined up to take their jobs, and are more concerned with shareholders than they are with customers and employees
Hunter Harrison...former CEO of CSX Transportation and other railroads that he destroyed....Hunter Harrison, CEO of CSX railway just wrote a letter to his customers telling them to go fuck themselves in response to their complaints.....I honestly don’t even know where to start with this guy. He basically gets paid 300 million to fire as many people as possible, and wring every single dollar from a company as fast as possible.
What happened here is he fired so many people, that trains are late. He started by blaming all of the employees for not working hard enough, and has now taken the stance that the customers are wrong to complain about their shit not being delivered on time.
And who put Harrison in his place, doing the same thing to two other railroads in Canada? Paul Hilal of Mantle Ridge.
Pretty soon, there aren’t 1000s lined up to take those jobs.
I was thinking of getting my private pilot license, then using the GI Bill to go further into the training. They have pipelines set up to go work for the airlines, working your way up from flying the small, regional jets then up. Takes a while. And if you don’t have something like the GI Bill to help out, it’s close to $100k for the training, just to get an entry level job. And that’s if you make it as it is “Pay As You Go”.
On top of all that, the training director was telling me that a lot of military pilots are done. The operational tempo in the military, which also has a shortage, has been so fast that pilots are burned out. They can get a corporate desk job, no responsibility of flying and landing a plane and dealing with sh*tty passengers.
So, you spend $50k and realize you can’t make it any further, for some reason, how does one recoup that money? They don’t.
Do the airlines start offering the training for free? They might have to. Toss in the attrition rate and they’ll be going broke. And then add to that, certain candidates for the positions that will be screaming bloody murder that the reason they can’t fly or failed out was because of their race or sex.
I’m at PBI now. Never flying again. The American flying public are too stupid and self centered. Never again.
Make sure they are fully vaccinated.
what next?
hospitals so desperate for surgeons after firing so many for non compliance with the vaccine mandates, that they are now considering allowing first year students to operate unrestricted
guess they will need those student surgeons as people will be dropping like flies and injured en mass from inexperienced pilots flying-
Pilots don’t want to be dying in order to go flying. Apparently, they have told the airlines to take their fake vaxes and shove it.
Bravo Pilots, with a capital P.
Man did I call this in 2020 when they were downsizing staff .
I knew the demand would come back and they would have a staffing clusterBiden when demand picked up.
They were cutting staff that takes multiple years to train, for a temporary demand drop.
Dumb.
Should have figured out any way to keep them on the payroll through the slow times.
