Probably a giant menehune farted to keep the howlies away. Lol.
Aside from the Zombie Pilots because of them all getting the VAX, the worldwide extreme and more and more unpredictable weather is making flying dangerous. Plus, the Continental Plates are under extreme stress, and they can generate EMP. This appears to have taken down a few planes already. Especially over water. They always blame it on the Pilot. Never flying again. No way.
I gave up flying a while ago. I used to bartend (moonlighting) pilots and stewardesses always came to the place. Biggest bunch of drunks you will ever meet. They all probably wake up and blow a BAC of 2.0.
You’re very correct. I designed, built and turned up Communication systems all over the USA. Spent a lot of time on Planes and at Motels. Frequently would run into a drunk Airline Employee.
Yeah, well I am the first to admit my own drunks, but I never had a DUI. Mainly would go on a bender, and quit for a few years, and then something would tick me off. However, in just a couple days I will have 10 years, so I kinda grew out of that with God’s help, rest assured. We had drinkers in my family too. So I know.
