Another example of the failure of regulators – this time in the airline industry? Warning signs or “nothing to see here, move along”?

Pilot warns of airline industry disaster due to Covid vaccines – The Burning Platform
A lengthy piece that can be condensed into a few key points:
“Last year the global aviation regulator, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), changed the electrocardiogram (ECG) markers that measure the ‘PR interval’. This is the time it takes for an electrical impulse to travel from one part of heart to another and is an indicator of heart health.
The new limit is 50 per cent longer than the previous limit, and means that if a pilot has developed a heart condition, it could slip past.”
Here’s another key indicator:
“When pilots put out a mayday radio call to air traffic control, it is nicknamed a ‘squawk’. They use the code 7700 for all mayday calls which are reserved for serious incidents like pilot incapacitation or an uncontained fire on board. Few scenarios warrant a mayday; passengers and crew must face genuine peril.”
And here’s the chart of 7700 alerts over the last few years taken from here:

From Kyle’s email to me:
“This is probably the scariest chart I've seen, and I think it shows what's coming for everyone who took the jab. Note it's not levelling off or going down, but up! Data only thru March, so I went to @GCFlightAlerts and counted the number of calls so far in November.
192!!! “
So, given the track record of the health regulators, the FDA and CDC, this may not a signal of potential problems. Perhaps a few “questions in the house” are required to make sure that avoidable aviation disasters are not imminent.
Out of interest, from here in July last year:
How Many Planes Are in the Air Right Now? (travelandleisure.com)
“Back in 2017, FlightAware determined there to be an average of 9,728 commercial airplanes in the sky at any given time. Of course, that number fluctuates on a minute-by-minute basis, given that planes are nearly constantly taking off and landing.
But these days, there are fewer planes in the air due to the pandemic. "We tend to see about 10,000 to 20,000 fewer flights per day since the pandemic and into 2021 and 2022," says FlightAware spokesperson Kathleen Bangs, a commercial pilot and former airline pilot. That's about anywhere from 10% to 20% less than normal, according to FlightAware data provided to Travel + Leisure.
Doing some rough math based on that estimate, it's likely that there are anywhere between 7,782 and 8,755 commercial planes in the air on average at any given time these days.”
That’s in the air, presumably there are many that are taxiing into and out of position for take off or after landing.
From this June 2023 article here covering all sorts of pilots:
How Many Pilots Are There In The World? - AviationVector
There is this table:
And for airlines globally in 2019, before the C19 scamdemic and before C19 injections:
“According to the International Civil Aviation Organization, there were approximately 350,000 airline pilots worldwide in 2019. The global airline industry is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 6.4%, leading to an increase in the number of pilots required in the industry.
Nothing to see here? Well, if that’s nothing maybe several downed airliners are what is required to be “something”. And there was me thinking “prevention is better than cure”.
Onwards!

I was a flight attendant for Western Airlines in late 1970s/early 1980s and I come from a family with ties to aviation industry. My grandfather was a pilot in WWI and co-founder of TWA airlines. Deep state has been ruining airline industry for at least 40 yrs, possibly longer. I think they want to replace human pilots with A.I. There used to be requirement to have 3 pilots in cockpit of all flights except for Boeing 737, a small plane. They have already eliminated the 2nd co-pilot position so only 2 pilots required now and A.I. does what 2nd co-pilot used to do. Considering how often A.I. screws things, up, this is pretty scary to me. I haven't flown since 2005 when last flight I took was horrendous. I didn't recognize the industry I had grown up with and loved so well most of my life. I don't like that they downgraded limit for heart health for pilots - this is NOT a good idea IMO. I've heard from pilots about numerous scary changes in airline industry, especially with pilots. Great article, Mr. Halligan - as always you're very precise with your info, I appreciate the charts.
