What Jim said

I think this is correct.

Everyone involved in aviation KNOWS FOR SURE that reckless/ rampant changes of past six weeks will, *for sure,* make airplane crashes more likely.

But no airline exec wants to be the first to say this in public.

then let the airline pilots association do it.

juliannc.bsky.social•1 day ago

or the unions that represent steward(ess)s and the pilots

As if all the airline crashes and near misses don’t speak for themselves….

If you don’t really need to fly, don’t. When their businesses begin to falter, maybe that’s when they’ll speak out.

They’ll just demand more bailouts, methinks.

What about the bodies that aren't in it for profit, like AOPA and EAA? Why aren't they coming out and telling it like it is?

I think NBAA is the one org that could really move the needle on this given the amount of overlap in their constituency and Trump's.

Which is why they probably won't? That's my thinking.

I don't know. I also think ALPA and A4A could do something as well. I think everyone's in the shock and awe phase.

They could, like, speak together. Send a message. "None of us are ok with this. Don't you dare try to come at all of us."

Cowards, leaders have to lead!

I'm not flying in the states until this regime is *long* gone. And I'm not kidding.

And which pilots want to be the first to die? When do pilots and flight attendants go on strike because they do not want to die while doing their jobs in unsafe conditions?
