As reported on April 22, 2022 by Sam Sweeney of ABC News, The airline pilot shortage is real and will cost all of us:
As millions take to the skies each day and airlines forecast what could be the most profitable summer ever, Americans should prepare for higher prices, more cancellations, and smaller airports losing all scheduled flight service.
Never before have U.S. airlines been more desperate for pilots. The massive pilot shortage affects not only the airlines but also the millions who fly each year.
According to United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby, the massive pilot shortage affects not only the airlines, but also the millions who fly each year.
U.S. airlines hope to add 13,000 pilots just this year, but America produces only between 5000 and 7000 pilots annually.
Enforced Vax mandates
9/29/21: United Airlines is set to terminate 593 of its employees who have chosen not to comply with the company’s vaccine mandate. United will also require students at its pilot training school to get vaccinated.
Sept. 28, 2021: … 593 employees had failed to either get vaccinated and submit documentation, or apply for an exemption, leaving them subject to termination. Employees who were approved for exemptions were placed on unpaid leave. That included about 2,000 employees, some of whom were able to find non-customer facing roles to do in the meantime.
Vaccine injuries among vaccinated pilots
The most prominent health issues being reported, the pilot noted, include chest pains, myocarditis, and pericarditis. Yoder said that three vaccinated pilot called him and said that they’re “currently flying with chest pains,” and another one said he is being treated by a cardiologist. He noted that the pilots want to remain anonymous because they don’t want to lose their jobs.
The USFF
formed last fall to help employees in the transportation industry oppose the federal laws surrounding vaccinations.
“I’m afraid if we keep going down this path, at some point it’s going to end in catastrophe,” he said.
Yoder said that world renowned cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough told him that if the pilots were regularly tested, a significant number of them would probably have to be grounded.
McCullough, along with Idaho pathologist Dr. Ryan Cole, Robert Kennedy Jr, Lt. Col Teresa Long M.D., Lt. Col. Peter Chambers D.O. and other experts signed a letter to the Federal Aviation Administration and the major airlines on Dec. 15, 2021, urging them to flag all vaccinated pilots, and administer EKGs, D-dimer tests, troponin tests, and cardiac MRIs to assess their health.
The doctors warned that adverse events from vaccination could cause “a pilot (to lose) control of his aircraft” and lead to “untold devastation.”
It is a given that Americans want healthy pilots in the seats of the airliners they fly.
