Last week a United Airlines flight from Guatemala diverted to Houston Airport after the pilot suffered a medical emergency.
NO WAY, should they cut down expenses by eliminating a “copilot”. Too many lives
are at risk! If there’s no copilot, don’t get on the plane!
Read the article. The copilot flew the plane. The pilot passenger handled the radio communications with the tower at the airport.
It’s only a matter of time before this happens at a crucial part of the flight where the pilots becoming incapacitated puts the plane into an uncontrollable situation from which the copilot can’t recover. All persons on board will perish. Mayor Pete will then take a vacation.
Mayor Pete was beyond his capabilities when he was just a mayor!!!!
Another terrorist biden/fauci jab
This is what happens when pilots were forced to take the vax!!
LETS GO BRANDON!!
Mandate-related homicide.
