I am more concerned with the health of all of the pilots. Our f’ing government is so concerned about the safety of the airplanes, but the pilot in charge, not so much. I wonder how many people are aware that the FAA lowered the standards for the pilots annual health exams following the rollout of the experimental vaccine?

Yes, sure did. Specifically EKG parameters considered ‘healthy’, that would have previously grounded that pilot. Very scary…

🎯🎯🎯 And the fact that the requirements were changed well after the shot roll out proves (IMHO) that they recognized that they were dangerous and feared having a melt down of our transportation system (interesting from a climate crisis’ perspective , isn’t it?)

EKG changes were made in October 2022. They knew…

Do you all know that apparently the pilot EKGs done during the annual exams are transmitted directly to the FDA who determines whether it passes or failed? IDK if the examiner can review as well, or has any role in the decision.

Great question!

I have no idea who determines viability to fly.

I’m concerned about DEI being more important than merit of the hires & the safety of these flying machines. Damaged pilots are a concern also. Add these concerns to the ordeal of a joke & endurance contest of going thru “security” to board….. it’s not worth it.

I have a friend who’s a swim coach. She was saying that one of the pools where she coaches hired an autistic lifeguard. The problem with that is when she asked him to put the ladder in so some of the older swimmers could climb out of the pool without getting scraped up, the kid froze. My friend ended up doing it herself, but the point is that what will that lifeguard do when (because it’s not an “if” when you’re around a pool) something out of the norm happens? Because certain autistics struggle with anything that isn’t routine. Someone could die, and they’d never admit it was because they hired someone who shouldn’t be in that position in the first place?
