With the nation’s domestic air travel in chaos, our electors have banned the safest, healthiest pilots ready to fly.
We have a severe pilot shortage delaying flights issues yet Congress just voted down an amendment for airlines to reinstate pilots who were fired or forced to resign because of vaccine mandates. Only one House Dem voted for it. Vote took place about 3 minutes ago on the floor. pic.twitter.com/lfAVVnr9SW

Congress looks to curb airport chaos will new FAA bill
‘House lawmakers on Thursday rejected an amendment that would have required airlines to reinstate pilots who were fired or stepped down because of vaccine mandates.
The amendment to the Federal Aviation Administration reauthorization bill, introduced by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., and offered on the floor by Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill., failed 141-298 after 83 Republicans voted with Democrats against it. Only one House Democrat, Rep. Jared Golden, D-Maine, voted for the measure.
Nearly all major U.S. airlines implemented vaccine mandates during the coronavirus pandemic in accordance with President Biden’s 2021 executive order requiring federal contractors to get the shots. The policies were controversial and prompted legal challenges from pilots, including an unsuccessful attempt by the Southwest Airlines Pilots Association (SWAPA) to block the mandate from taking effect.
“Hundreds of pilots were forced out of their livelihoods over the past several years for their refusal to get COVID vaccine,” Greene claimed Wednesday when she filed her amendment. “They were denied medical freedom to decide whether they should take the experimental COVID vaccine or lose their job.”
It is unclear how many airline pilots lost their jobs for refusing to comply with airline vaccine mandates as several airlines reported near-total compliance by their staff. In December 2021, United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby told members of Congress that only six of his company’s 13,000-strong pilot force refused the vaccine and were fired. The Chicago-based airline had previously said around 200 of its 67,000 employees who refused to get vaccinated were fired.

Please the only thing MTG cares about is making a name for herself to run for higher office. You are just the shield she hides behind. History has shown she is a classic demagogue.

Unfortunately the Pilots who have not taken the Franken Shot are the only ones who can be trusted to fly a plane without having the physical problems that the pilots who took the shot have.

Correct. Especially in single pilot configurations. Which is what happened to that plane that crashed near DC, killing everyone on-board.

Watch the cretins ride in on the coattails of the ‘COVID-19’ fraud to add their particular brand of self-indulgent trouble and aggression. Stupid is as stupid does.

Hey Americans, you are getting exactly what you voted for all across the board!!!!
In the airline example, highly experienced pilots are being replaced with low time,
inexperienced ones as demonstrated with a very unusual number of near misses
and other poor aviation decision making actions. As with the rest of what is going on
in this formerly once great country, it is a disaster waiting to happen.

Next time you might try using generally, most, many, or some such word. I didn’t vote for ANY of what you mentioned. Remember, words have meaning.

True ,42beegee. My apologies to you and the folks that do have cognitive
prowess. It’s sometimes hard to remember that you are out there in light of the overwhelming idiocy that I observe on a nonstop basis.

It got worse. Real, professional doctors and nurses who wisely refused the Billkill death jabs were replaced by fakes from diploma mills teaching just enough to further the genocide agenda. Check out your local hospitals. I interviewed 5 doctors about 2 years ago. All 5 were ashamed at betraying The Hippocratic Oath. All 5 were ashamed of betraying the trust of their patients. All 5 were threatened with losing their License to Practice from the AMA if they told what they really were shooting people up with. All 5 were threatened with losing their jobs if they told what they really were shooting people up with. 2 confessed to taking bribes. One from Joe Biden’s people. One from the Gates/Fauci people. Turn off your television set and do what police refuse to, but the military IS DOING. GITMO/Guam one way vacations.

The AMA has no power to revoke physician’s medical license. Moreover, only 12.1% of physicians are members of that association.
It was the state and state medical boards that made the threats, in in some, if not many, cases …. made true on their threats.

Think about it…..IF those criminals voted to reinstate unvaxxed pilots, they would be admitting that they have blood on their hands of the dead pilots who took the JAB as well as all those pilots who remain sick because of the JAB they took…!! Congress would never incriminate themselves like that..!! The politicians are the real criminals and crooks here…!!

This actually boils down to a medical decision. What gives Congress (politicians) to make medical decisions for citizens in violation of the legal and ethical requirement of Informed Consent for medical interventions?????
When you take this shot you must give Consent!!
Congress is essentially forcing people to give Consent for something they don’t want.
Forced consent is not consent.

The only two people I KNEW who refused to listen to references and citations regarding the fraudulent presentation of the ‘COVID-19′ problem and got all 4 inoculations are now dead. It was no coincidence that both were accountants overseeing military accounts and luxury hotels’ accounts. Everybody else had minor problems or none.
