Not sure what to say about this...... I’m a career (non vaccinated) airline pilot.... for a major airline, and this is never talked about, never brought up, and definitely not part of annual or quarterly recurrent training where I work......
I used to fly Volkswagens of the sky and aspired to fly "rubber dogshit out of Hong Kong"
We actually had an observer have a heart attack (coroner's report) and collapse onto the steering column during a power-line observation flight at 50 ft altitude during the 90's. Both occupants dead, one ejected out of the side window on a Cessna 172.
This is not playing devil's advocate as it is extremely rare. Just an anecdotal report.
I don't know the vw reference, but the "rubber dog shit out of Hong Kong" quote made me kek. Do you know if there's significant awareness among pilots about the dangers of the mRNA shots? I appreciate any feedback, thank you!
It's a self-deprecating jab at the lowly aircraft that General Aviation pilots fly. A Volkswagen of the sky is in this case a Cessna 172 which is actually a fantastic, capable little aircraft.
From my perspective.....back when they started trying to mandate the vaccines (several companies did) there were many pilots that were very strongly against getting it in my company. I would definitely say the majority got it, (most are unaware of the dangers and there was quite a bit of pay and time off incentive to get it). Currently, if I had to guess, 80% or so are probably vaccinated. And most are unaware of the dangers of mRNA vaccines, just like a lot of the population. But I also believe that they are figuring it out at the same rate, and I would definitely say that most pilots are NOT getting the booster.

This shit has never been part of the training.

May God bless pilots and keep them safe🙏
I am not involved with aviation these days, so no appreciable feedback.
i'M SITTING HERE LMAO...😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Question for you...did the "rubber dogshit out of Hong Kong" have a bounce to it?
Inquiring minds want to know!!!!!!!!!!!
A VERY BIG TANGO YANKEE FOR THE LAUGHS!!!!!!🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
All quality rubber dog shit should bounce.
Forgive me, but the closest I ever got to piloting was watching Airforceproud95 on Youtube.
What aircraft are "Volkswagens of the sky?" You mentioned the little Cessna, is that one of their nicknames?

Gotcha.
Airforceproud95 is actually a real fun channel, done by an actual pilot. Check it out sometime, it gets REAL funny.

Thank you for the info, Happy New Year
