If its a slow news day, reporters might interview a couple of irritated, stranded travelers. Thousands of flights are axed on any given day. Many more are delayed. News readers just read the report, without any substantive questioning about why theres suddenly a great shortage of pilots. The weather is the only excuse ever offered, and that doesnt work when there are no storms slowing things down. Whats going on? Weve never had a pilot shortage before. We may currently have more air travelers needing flights than a year ago, but not more than before COVIDand yet, here we are, facing an entirely new problem. Its so bad that American Airlines is offering pilots on its regional carriers double and triple pay for the month of July if theyll take extra flights. Its not hard to figure out whats happeningdespite the seeming prohibition on our pilots saying anything about it. We rarely hear a peep from them, at least on mainstream news outlets. Theres even a noticeable dearth of questions asked at Fox News of late. Nobody is questioning this fiasco beyond some Fox Business report of a lot of pilot retirements. It just is, apparently. There are always going to be retirements and saying, as the link above does, that its expensive to become a pilot. Give me a break! Thats never been an issue before. So why even consider it now? What job does one get where advanced training doesnt cost money? Image: Pilots by Piqsels. Lets put the blame for this shortage squarely where it belongs: On COVID vaccination policy. Many pilots who got the jabs are suffering injuries and have been unable to pass their required 6-month comprehensive physicals. None of us want a pilot who has a heart attack mid-flight. If you search the net, you come up with reports like this one from last week that pretty much says it all but theyre not from mainstream sources, of course. Such reports are forbidden fruit for widely heard reporters.

We have a perfect storm: If pilots are vaccinated, many cant fly because of vaccine injurya state far, far more common than our government would lead you to believe. They are desperate to keep that fact hidden. If youre not vaccinated, you cant fly either. If youre in the military (many pilots go commercial after their service years), you have the same problem, so the routine feed of qualified military pilots who transition to commercial piloting is effectively halted as well. There are ample stories of military doctors losing their jobs because they wont certify heart-damaged fliers. I also note that weve had an extraordinary number of military plane and helicopter accidents of late, none of which have been followed up on or logically explained. Finally, I remember much talk early in the Biden administration about a push to certify more and more minorities, whether there are qualified candidates. This was big news for a brief while. I dont know whether that push has continued but, if so, it might make a difference. I can only guess. Are airlines afraid theyll get in trouble for certifying too many non-minorities? Back in early 2021, I wrote a bunch of articles about our surveillance state and censorship. You can click on my byline for my article archive if you want to review any of them. I posited that, if we succumb to the type of censorship and coercion that has sadly now become routine, we will soon lose our free society and destroy our Republic. At this point, weve lost our free society and our Republic is teetering. If we continue to allow the government and tech giants to run rough-shod over our rights, censor the truth and disallow open dissemination of important information, while forcing nonsensical medical interventions on our people, we will lose everything we hold sacred. There must be more people brave enough to report real news on mainstream platforms. This story is but one of many that need our attention. The ramifications, once more people connect the dots, will hopefully lead to further exposing the sick program weve been fed over the last several years. Only then can we end it.
