What's causing the pilot shortage?
Failing drug tests for weed
Who knows but flying terrified me know that airline companies started bragging about hiring more niggers and women
diversity
the experimental genic clotshots mandates
They told pilots to get vaxxed, many said no and either quit or retired.
who knows
nah that can't be it
frequent, drastic changes in elevation place unique demands on the cardiovascular system. More pilots have died since the vax was introduced than at any time in recent history.
There is no pilot shortage, there is an EXPERIENCED pilot shartage which are the ones that are legally allowed to fly jets (need x amount of hours to dothat). Also boomer pilots retired cuz of pandemic
doubtful
this. I have a friend who wants to be a pilot due to smoking weed. it's a slippery slope! soon you'll be asking passengers to PLEASE SIT THE FUCK DOWN and look out their window at the beautiful fireball headed their way
>FAA forces retirement at 62 years old
>White Boomers forced to retire
>Covid mandates caused some to quit
>Pilots now in shortage
Honestly the future of public flying is grim in America. Diversity will take hold and we will get silly crashes like the third world.
Dumb forced covid tests for a non-existent plandemic and , basically a flu.
This
and this as well.
The correct answer is 2 fold. First, a lot of pilots were laid off during COVID shutdown, then the retarded vaccine mandate forced a lot of them to stop flying.
FAA regulations are getting progressively more strict to the point it is difficult to become a pilot. Add in the prospect of shit pay and being overworked while trying to pay off your student loans. That's why no one wants to be a pilot.
bro wheres that whyte man meme with the space rocket?
not enough pilots I guess
Idk maybe when they fired them all
found it...
People not wanting to contribute to a piece of shit society
An ATP license is very expensive. The minimum hours get a first officer seat can take a long time for some people.
Suddenly
Stupid ass congress trippled the flight time requirements. You can only afford to train as a pilot if you're rich or flew for the airforce.
It would be easier to get a private license and buy your own aircraft. Would probably be safer.
high barrier to entry
shit pay
shit lifestyle
nigger nigger nigger nigger nigger nigger
I see what you did there.
its there because people who want to become pilots are mostly puer aeternus thrill seeking manchildren who then get bored of it and hop out by the age of 30 or worse, they become so bored and jaded and they make some critical mistake and crash their ass somewhere, those people get weeded out by psych tests, because training them is too expensive to take that risk
for all other people, its a job in which you are overworked, far away from home and family and sleeping in some bumfuck hotel and when you come back you find out that your wife slept with a black man
Airlines are the ultimate ZIRP zombie companies.
The majority of routes flown lose money.
They only make money by functioning as banks via their point systems. They can change the issue/redemption value of rewards points for flights any time they choose to reduce liabilities with the stroke of a pen to pad earnings.
Consumer air travel is not a profitable enterprise even with normal fuel prices.
The bottom 2/3rds of the economic value simply cannot create enough economic value to afford air travel even twice a year.
If regular people want to travel, they need to spend their actual time driving, not attempting to split the operating cost of a 50,000 lb machine 200 ways with constantly inflating currency.
