last Friday, a co-worker was in the staff room complaining that her flight that was sched to leave at 3pm was cancelled at noon...she says to a few of us...."what? why is this happening. what is going on?" and I said, "Do you really want to know or do you just want an answer, like the one the airlines is going to give you?" She says, "Well, they said it's technical difficulties." SO, I say, "Yup, kind of....the technical difficulties are because some pilots aren't cleared to fly...so technically it could potentially lead to a technical difficulty, right?" She says, "What do you mean?" ... I educated her and said that pilots need to have a check up/screen before they can fly and a lot of them are not passing the test...."She says. "Why...how come?" ...and I again said...do you really want to know.....she says yes and I say, "COVID shots have severe adverse effects.....around 1300 side effects and people are disabled and even dying."......she did not have anything to say......plus, a few other sheep heard the conversation so I took that opportunity to tell them as I knew I had a captive audience, at that time....this is a good substack on this, too.... https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/any-airline-which-isnt-screening

Stella, this is brilliant. This is how it's going to have to go.

Bottom up. Build it.

The people at the top...all of them. Will not be helpful.

Thanks! I have really started speaking up at work without giving away my status...I don't want to be discredited because at this point they are still listening to me....I am worried I am going to get fired, one day, if this is not over soon...I might say something to "trigger" someone...you know, facts, data, evidence, truth...gets you in trouble these days....feelings over facts now....

When are they ever helpful?

Part of disaster planning touches on capacity planning. You have to know what resources you need to prepare for when you don't have them.

Airlines know this as well. Which makes these recurring fusterclucks inexcusable. They insisted on jabbing everyone and now they don't have the resources they need, but instead of confronting the issue they're pointing fingers hoping no one will notice.

If it's the jab, it's on them.

If it's something else it's still on them.

Yup. No matter what the cause, they sold a service they can't deliver, so it's on them.

If I were benevolent dictator of these United States, one edict to the airlines would be: If you don't get the passenger to the destination that you sold him within 12 hours of his scheduled arrival time, you owe that passenger a double his money back refund, and no excuses will be accepted; not weather, not mechanical delays, not crew shortages; no excuses at all. Either do what you promised or pay up. I believe this would motivate them to do better. :)

That said, flying has became progressively more unpleasant during the last few decades. Between the ridiculous security theater at the airports, the ever-shrinking seats, the lack of service and surly flight attendants, and the always completely full planes, it wasn't enjoyable before the "pandemic", and now... If I can't drive there, I'm not going.

They don’t want us travelling. (I hate flying anyway!)

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the airborne sardine can either.

I can't believe anyone would fly in a corporate owned plane these days with all the sudden strokes etc that've happened to pilots

Have you seen Trudeau and Johnson sitting at G7 discussing whose corporate jet is bigger, faster, etc. whilst ordinary folk are queued inside and outside airports. Soon the only flights will be for emergencies, oh, and for elites.

Having spent a quarter century doing disaster planning, I have come to really dislike flying, and that was before the pandemic.

Not knowing if the pilot is going to keel over during landing is an added risk I'd rather not deal with.

Man kann sich des Eindruckes nicht erwehren, dass hier eine Gruppe globaler

Entscheider mit der Pandemie private Firmen ins Aus befördern will, um eine

marxistisch-planwirtschaftliche Welt zu formieren, mit nur wenigen

Konzernen, die übrig bleiben.
