An interesting forum post here:
Something HUGE and really scary going on with aviation.
You can see for yourself. I am a former airline captain, I am out of the industry but I still keep tabs of what is going on. I have an app on my phone, it’s a free app that you can download yourself, it is called flightradar24. One of the really cool features of this app is you can have alerts set up so if an aircraft somewhere in the world declares an emergency, in the industry we call it squawking 7700, you can get a notification. I’ve had this app for years and usually you would see one to four emergencies pop up every month. That’s how it’s always been, aviation is pretty safe, there’s not a whole lot of emergencies worldwide on the monthly basis. But over the last couple of months I have been getting notifications sometimes up to 10 times a day. I’ve already had four this morning! Something huge and scary is going on out there and nobody is talking about it. I am seeing so many aircraft declaring !!
The jabbed pilots.
And passengers, probably.
You wouldn’t pay me to get on a plane atm.
Same.
Also, I wouldn't.
KEK
Yeah, I think people are too focused on the pilots (which, like, fair, I wouldn't fly these days if you paid me) but the number of in-flight passenger blood clots and so forth must be though the roof.
The lower cabin pressure combined with extended periods of sitting, were already known to cause "Deep Vein Thrombosis" prior to covid, so with the known clotting effects of the covid shots, it's almost amazing that this wasn't anticipated. But with the way things are hidden, I guess it would have been amazing if they HAD put out any warnings about it.
Don’t forget the dozens of in-flight brawls on Spirit, those count too.
Maskholes are creating issues also but I do not know if that constitutes an air emergency.
Most likely passengers. There are hundreds on each plane vs two pilots
Don't forget jabbed ground crew too. If the mechanics, technicians, and inspectors are negatively affected, then inevitably more problems and emergencies will occur in flights, even if the pilots aren't jabbed.
Geez. You tend to think of just the pilots. What a mess.
Good point.
Zombie apocalypse, CONPLAN8888.
and/or crew and/or passengers?
